.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will shift E of the
southern waters tonight. A cold front will move S across the
northern waters tonight and Thu, then stall across the central
waters late Thu and Thu night. The front will lift back N as a
warm front Fri as low pressure develops along the front near the
Virginia Capes. The low will track E across the northern waters
Fri night. Its associated cold front will move S across the
waters Fri night and Sat before stalling across the southern
waters Sat night. Meanwhile, high pressure will build across the
N and central waters Sat into Sat night. Low pressure will
develop along the stalled front across the southern waters Sat
night, then lift NE across the waters Sun through Mon night while
rapidly intensifying. Mariners should consider avoidance plans
and monitor the latest forecasts for this system. The NAVTEX at
Chesapeake is reported to be inoperative. Technicians are aware.
