.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending NE over the waters will
persist tonight before dissipating Sun. A cold front will
approach the coast early Sun, move slowly offshore later Sun
into Sun evening, reach the outer waters later Sun night, and
then stall over the S waters Mon. The front will remain over the
S waters Mon night as low pressure begins to organize along the
front just off the S Carolina coast. The low will continue to
organize and move slowly E and NE over the central and northern
waters waters Tue through Wed while pulling a trailing cold front
E over the S waters. The low will pass E of the northern waters
Wed night with the trailing cold front clearing E of the area.
High pressure will build over the area behind the low Wed
afternoon and Wed night. A ridge axis will drift E across the
southern waters Thu, and pass E of the area by Thu night. Another
cold front will approach the northern Mid- Atlantic coast Thu
night. Navtex station Chesapeake Virginia is offline until
further notice. Technicians are aware of the problem and are
working to have it repaired. Sorry for any inconvenience.
