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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure continues over the area this evening,
then gradually shifts E tonight as a cold front approaches from
the W. The cold front moves E across the N and central waters Wed
and Wed night, eventually stalling over or near the far S waters
Thu. Behind the front, another high builds S, resulting in
counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper,
breaking waves. High pressure then continues over most of the
area into Fri night, and then over the N waters Sat and Sat
night. To the S, low pressure forms along the stalled cold front
on Fri. The low and its associated warm front should slowly move
N offshore of the SE U.S. coast Fri night through Sat night,
before stalling off the Delmarva or New Jersey coast Sun into Sun
night. The USCG broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina is
still experiencing technical difficulties. Technicians are aware
of the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience.
