...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 or near the N waters
today through tonight. Low pressure will form offshore of the E
Florida coast along the stalled front late today. 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 should 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. A weak low pressure trough or cold front will
pass SE across the area Tue and Tue night.
