NAVTEX Marine Forecast for Mid-Atlantic states waters
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
500 AM EDT Thu Oct 9 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...A cold front over the S waters will continue to move
S today, stalling over or near the far S waters tonight through
Fri night. High pressure builds S behind the front, resulting in
counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper,
breaking waves. High pressure then continues over the N and
central waters into Fri night, and then over the far N waters
into Sat. To the S, low pressure should form offshore of the E
Florida coast along the stalled front Fri night. The low will
deepen and expand as it moves N late Fri night through Sun,
eventually being centered off of the mid-Atlantic coast Sun
night. The broad, complex low will extend over much of the east
coast Sun night and Mon, with the broad low finally starting to
shift E Mon night. Mariners must monitor later forecasts on the
coastal system, and begin to consider avoidance plans as needed.
This will be a long duration event for the east coast, impactful
to the mariner.
