NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

...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 today, 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 should form 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. The USCG
broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina is still experiencing
technical difficulties. Technicians are aware of the problem. We
apologize for any inconvenience.
