.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Broad low pressure just E of the
northern waters, centered about 300 nm SE of Nantucket, will
remain nearly stationary through the evening, and then will move
slowly E away from the area later tonight through Mon night. A
cold front extending E across the waters from the Georgia coast
will move slowly S tonight through Mon, as a series of weak low
pressure centers form and move E along the boundary. The front
will pass S of the area Mon night and Tue while high pressure
builds S into the northern waters. The high pressure ridge will
slowly drift S Tue night through Thu while weakening, and then
will shift S of the waters Thu night where it will persist
through Fri night. A cold front will approach the northern Mid-
Atlantic coast Thu night and Fri, and will move into the northern
waters Fri night.
