.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending E across the central
waters will lift N as a weak warm front tonight, with the front
passing N of the waters Mon. A cold front will move E and
approach the Mid-Atlantic coast late Mon into Mon night, before
passing E and SE over the region later Mon night into Tue night
while weakening. In association with the front, widespread
thunderstorms are expected to move offshore late Mon and Mon
night, and mariners should used caution for gusty winds and rough
seas in and near the heavier thunderstorms. Developing low
pressure will move off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast Wed, and
track NE across the northern portions Wed night into Thu while a
secondary cold front moves E and SE across the waters. The front
will shift E of the area Thu night. High pressure will build
slowly E to the coast Thu night through Fri night.
