.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.
