.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will cross the waters today and stall
over the S waters later today as high pressure builds in across
the N and central waters. Low pressure will develop along the
stationary front just inland over Georgia and S Carolina tonight,
with the low intensifying while lifting NE from near the Outer
Banks Tue to near Georges Bank 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,
persist Wed night, and then weaken early Thu. Yet another cold
front will move SE over the N and central portions late Thu
before stalling across the far S waters Thu night. High pressure
will build E over the N waters Fri into Fri night. The front and
developing low pressure will begin to move back to the N over the
S and central waters late Fri into Fri night. Mariners should
monitor the latest forecasts for the intensifying low pressure
system set to impact the region tonight into Wed, and begin to
strongly consider avoidance routing at this time.
