NAVTEX Marine Forecast for Mid-Atlantic states waters
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
505 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 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 will stall over the far S waters today
and tonight. High pressure will move offshore from New England to
near Georges Bank by late today, resulting in counterflow to the
Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper, breaking waves. The
high will then shift NE of the area tonight and Sat. To the S,
low pressure will form offshore of the E Florida coast along the
stalled front tonight. The low will deepen and expand as it moves
N late tonight through Sun, eventually being centered just
offshore of the Virginia Capes Sun night. This broad, complex low
will move very slowly E from the Virginia Capes to the Outer
Mid-Atlantic Waters Sun night through Tue 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.
