.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge across the
southern waters will shift S of the area today. A cold front
across the NW waters will move SE and reach the central waters
today, and then will become stationary late tonight into Tue,
extending E and NE off the Georgia coast to the outer Mid-
Atlantic waters. The front will remain in place through Tue
night as weak low pressure develops and tracks NE along the
front. High pressure will move SE into the northern waters Wed,
and will drift S into the central and southern waters Wed night
and Thu. The high will shift E of the waters Thu night as a weak
cold front approaches the northern Mid-Atlantic coast. The high
will maintain a ridge extending W over the central and southern
waters Fri and Fri night.
