.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure over the far NE
waters this evening will shift E of the area tonight. A warm
front off the Mid-Atlantic coast this evening will lift N of the
area tonight. A pair of cold fronts will move SE across the
waters Thu into Thu night, then pass E of the area Thu night
into Fri while merging. A stronger cold front will move SE across
the waters Fri night, then stall just S of the area Sat as high
pressure builds E across the N waters. The front will then lift
back N into the area as a warm front Sat night into Sun night as
developing low pressure tracks NE along the boundary. The low
will then track E across the far N waters later Sun night into
Mon, then pass E of the area Mon night. Mariners are advised to
monitor the latest OPC forecasts for this potential developing
system.
