NWS Marine Forecast


   ANZ899-201415-  940 PM EST Thu Feb 19 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A front will remain nearly  stationary off of the N Carolina and Virginia coasts tonight,  with weak low pressure moving E along the front. On Fri, the  front moves N as a warm front, and gradually intensifying low  pressure moves E along the front over the far N waters Fri night.  A cold front associated with the low moves S into the S waters  Fri night, and the front will then be nearly stationary there  through Sat night as high pressure briefly builds S over the N  waters. Low pressure moves off of the Carolina coast Sat night,  with the low broadening and strengthening as it moves slowly NE  off of the East Coast Sun through Mon. Mariners should monitor  later forecasts for possible avoidance needs. A series of surface  troughs will move over the area behind the low Mon night through  Tue, with weak high pressure building E over much of the waters  Tue night.    $$
