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

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front will develop near the coast this
afternoon, then lift N through the central and N waters late
today or this evening as a cold front approaches from the W. The
cold front will move SE across the N and central waters tonight
through Mon, then stall over the S waters Mon night as high
pressure builds in across the N waters. Low pressure will develop
along the stationary front just inland over the SE U.S. Mon
night, 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, and persist Wed night. Yet another cold front will
move across the N and central portions late Thu before stalling
across the S waters Thu night. Mariners should monitor the latest
forecasts for the intensifying low pressure system set to impact
the region late Mon night into Wed, and begin to strongly
consider avoidance routing at this time.
