420 AM EDT Mon May 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front extending E
across the central waters will lift N and pass N of the waters
today. A cold front will move E and approach the Mid-Atlantic
coast late today, then pass E and SE over the region tonight into
Tue night while weakening. In association with the front,
widespread thunderstorms are expected to move offshore late today
and tonight. Mariners should use caution for gusty winds and
rough seas in and near the heavier thunderstorms. Developing low
pressure will move off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast Wed, and
track NE across the northern portions Wed night into Thu while a
secondary cold front moves E and SE across the waters. The front
will shift E of the area Thu night. High pressure will build
slowly E to the coast Thu night through Fri night.
