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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the area will shift E tonight
into Sun. A warm front will develop along the SE coast tonight,
then lift N through the central and N waters Sun as a cold front
approaches from the W. The cold front will move SE across the N
and central waters Sun night through Mon, then stall over the S
waters Mon night as high pressure builds in across the N waters.
Low pressure will develop along the stationary front inland over
the SE U.S. Mon night, with the low intensifying while lifting NE
from near the Outer Banks to near Georges Bank Tue and Tue night.
A cold front extending S from the low will move quickly E and SE
across the waters late Tue into Tue night. High pressure will
build over the waters Wed, and persist Wed night. Yet another
cold front will move across the N and central portions later Thu
before stalling across the S waters Thu night. Mariners should
monitor later forecasts for possible avoidance from the
intensifying low.
