.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure will slowly drift SE
just W of the outer mid-Atlantic waters early today, then turn E
and move away from the waters late today through Wed. A high
pressure ridge will continue building S along the coast today and
tonight. The ridge will move offshore Wed, then shift NE and
weaken Wed night into 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 through Fri ahead of Potential
Tropical Cyclone Nine moving from the eastern Gulf of Mexico
inland into the Southeast U.S. All marine interests should
closely monitor the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane
Center.
