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.
