West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 20 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank
from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
prevail over the far S waters today. A stationary front will
linger off of the mid-Atlantic coast today with a series of weak
lows moving E along the front. A slightly stronger low will move
E and NE along the front off of the Virginia Capes by this
afternoon, continue to move slowly E and NE over the central and
N waters tonight into Tue night, and then weaken to the E and NE
of the area by Wed. A low pressure trough will strengthen along
the coast Wed and Wed night, with a warm front developing and
lifting NE from the N waters Wed night. A cold front will
approach from the W and NW Thu, and then move offshore Thu night
into Fri. The front will weaken and then likely stall over the
central or S waters Fri night as high pressure builds over the
mid-Atlantic states.
