.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A front will be nearly stationary
over and near the E waters through Thu as weak low pressure
centers move NE along the front. Meanwhile, high pressure will be
located over the NW waters. The front should move slightly N as a
warm front Thu and Fri as a cold front approaches the waters from
the W. The slow-moving cold front should weaken as it moves E
across the waters Fri before dissipating Fri night, with the warm
front passing off to the NE. Another cold front approaches the N
waters from the W Sat, moves into the N and central waters Sat
night and early Sun, and finally reaches the S waters late Sun
and Sun night before dissipating. High pressure builds into the
NW waters from the W behind the front. A stationary boundary will
form and extend across the waters Sat or Sat night, then remain
in place through Mon night.
