NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1209 PM EDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the area will gradually shift NE
today through early Sun as a coastal low moves N just offshore of
the SE U.S. The low will strengthen and expand as it moves N,
being centered offshore of the Virginia Capes by Sun night. This
broad, complex low will move very slowly E from the Virginia
Capes across the outer Mid-Atlantic waters Sun night through Tue
night, then finally move E of the area Wed. Mariners should
monitor later forecasts on the coastal system as this will be a
long duration event for the east coast, and impactful to the
mariner. A cold front will approach from the NW Wed, then move
offshore Wed night.
