.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure centered about
330 nm SE of Nantucket will slowly drift S across the outer mid-
Atlantic waters today and tonight, then turn E and move away from
the waters Tue into Wed. A high pressure ridge will continue
building S along the coast today into Tue night. The ridge will
move offshore Wed, then shift NE and weaken Wed night and Thu.
Low pressure will develop offshore of the northern waters Thu
night, then track E while remaining N of the area Fri and Fri
night. Across the southern waters, winds and seas will likely
increase Thu ahead of a possible tropical cyclone moving from the
central Gulf of Mexico inland into the Southeast U.S. All marine
interests should closely monitor the latest forecasts from the
National Hurricane Center.
