433 PM EDT Thu Jun 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will move S over
the N waters tonight, with high pressure building over the N
waters behind the front. The front will stall Fri off of the mid-
Atlantic coast. Little change in these conditions should occur
Fri night into Sat. On Sat, high pressure to the N will begin
shifting E as the front returns back N as a warm front during Sat
and Sat night. The warm front should move N of the waters by
Sun, with high pressure to the S building W over the S waters. A
cold front will approach the NW waters late Sun, stalling over
the N waters Sun night as low pressure develops along the front.
The low then remains over or near the N waters Mon into Tue,
while a trailing cold front slowly moves SE over the central and
S waters. The low should move E of the NE waters Tue night.
