.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending NE over the waters will
dissipate today. A cold front will move offshore today into this
evening, reach the outer waters later tonight, 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 Tue
through Wed while pulling a trailing cold front E over the area.
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.
The high will drift E across the region Thu, and pass E of the
area 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.
