.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure will slowly drift S
just W of the outer mid-Atlantic waters tonight, then turn E and
move away from the waters Tue into Wed. A high pressure ridge
will continue building S along the coast tonight into Tue night.
The ridge will move offshore Wed, then shift NE and weaken Wed
night and 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 into Fri ahead of potential tropical cyclone
Nine moving from the central Gulf of Mexico inland into the
Southeast U.S. All marine interests should closely monitor the
