.SYNOPSIS...The waters remain on the S and W parts of high
pressure through today, except for a surface trough along and
near the coast. A cold front approaches the waters from the NW
late today, moves into the N waters tonight, then stalls over or
near the N waters Thu through Fri night. Low pressure should form
along the stalled front Fri, with the low gradually expanding and
deepening as it moves slowly N offshore of the SE U.S. coast Fri
night through Sun. A cold front will move offshore to the S of
the low Sat through Sun as the low moves N. By Sun night, the low
should be well N of the area offshore of the mid-Atlantic coast.
Mariners should monitor later forecasts on this coastal system,
and begin to consider avoidance plans for the weekend as needed.
