.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strengthening low pressure just E
of the northern waters will move NE away from the waters tonight
as a cold front moves offshore over the northern waters. Weak
high pressure will persist over the central and S waters tonight
into Sat. The front will move E of the N waters Sat as high
pressure expands from the central into the northern waters, as
weak low pressure develops along a stationary front over the far
southern waters. The low will move E and NE over the far S waters
Sat night into Sun as the high retreats N to the northern waters.
The low will move NE and pass E of the southern and central
waters Sun night into Mon as the high retreats N to the New
England waters. A ridge associated with the high to the N of the
area will develop over the inner waters Mon night into Tue night
as the low moves off to the E and NE of the area. Weak high
pressure will cover most of the N and central waters Tue night
into Wed as a front to the S of the waters begins to return N as
a warm front. The front and a developing low pressure area will
lift N over the southern waters Wed night as the ridge
dissipates.
