West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 20 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank
from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure 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 into Fri ahead of a potential
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.
