NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC

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...Low pressure just S of the waters will deepen and
expand as it moves N tonight through Sun, with a secondary low
forming Sun, and eventually being centered 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, before clearing E of the area
Wed. 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, and impactful to the
mariner. A cold front will approach from the NW late Tue night
into early Wed. The front will then move offshore late Wed into
Wed night, then clear E of the area by Thu. High pressure will
build in across the waters Thu and Thu night.
