.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure will move E and SE
to the N and then E of the waters today through Tue as a series
of secondary cold fronts or low pressure troughs move SE across
the N portion. Weak high pressure will build S and SE over the
region Tue into Tue night as a nearly stationary front extends E
off the SE coast. The front will become a warm front and slowly
lift N across the area Wed into Thu night. Low pressure will move
NE along or just off the Mid-Atlantic coast Wed into Thu while
pulling a cold front E and SE across the waters. The low will
move N then NE of the region Thu night through Fri night as a
secondary cold front or low pressure trough moves through the
area.
