.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front extending E
across the central waters will lift N as a weak warm front
tonight, with the front passing N of the waters Mon. A cold
front will move E and approach the Mid-Atlantic coast late Mon

Mon night into Tue night while weakening. In association with the
front, widespread thunderstorms are expected to move offshore

gusty winds and rough seas in and near the heavier
thunderstorms. Developing low pressure will move off the northern
