NWS Marine Forecast


   ANZ899-210245-  1042 AM EDT Sun Sep 20 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front extending  eastward from near Cape Fear this morning will drift N during  the remainder of the day into tonight. A cold front will approach  from the NW tonight as low pressure tracks E and NE while  passing near or just N of the waters. A trailing cold front will  move S and SE and reach the far northern waters by early Mon,  moving further S over the northern into the central waters during  the day Mon. The front will likely stall from near the Virginia  Capes eastward Mon night through Tue night as low pressure  develops S of the frontal boundary and moves slowly N and NE.  Complex, strengthening, low pressure will move very slowly N,  along or S of the front, Wed through Thu night. Strong high  pressure will build N of the region while interacting with the  frontal boundary and complex low pressure system over the area to  generate strong NE to E gales, and potentially storm force winds  and building seas Tue through Thu night mainly over the central  and northern waters. Mariners are urged to closely monitor the  latest OPC and coastal National Weather Service forecasts over  the coming days, and begin to develop avoidance plans for this  potentially significant weather event.    $$
