.SYNOPSIS...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.
