.SYNOPSIS...An occluded low pressure system will track NE across
the Outer Mid-Atlantic Waters tonight. A trailing cold front will
move slowly SE across the southern waters into Thu, while a
secondary trough moves slowly S through the central waters behind
the cold front. The cold front will become stationary across the
southern waters late Thu and dissipate Thu night or early Fri.
High pressure will briefly build over the waters Fri, then shift
SE of the region Fri night. Another low and associated warm front
will move offshore from the Mid- Atlantic Fri night, then become
absorbed into a cold front moving S into the northern waters Sat.
The low will pass E of the area Sat night into Sun as the cold
front continues moving SE across the waters. Another high will
build E over the northern waters Sun, then drift S into the
central and southern waters Sun night. The high will settle over
the central waters Mon and persist across the region through Mon
night.
