.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...An area of low pressure just E of
the far outer Mid-Atlantic Waters this morning will track NE away
from the area today. A trailing cold front will move slowly SE
across the southern waters today, while a secondary trough moves
slowly S through the central waters behind the cold front. The
cold front will briefly stall across the southern waters tonight,
then dissipate early Fri. High pressure will quickly pass E
across the waters Fri into Fri night. Another low and associated
warm front will move offshore from the Mid- Atlantic Fri night,
then become absorbed into a cold front moving S into the northern
waters Sat. The low will move NE away from the area Sat night
into Sun as the cold front continues moving SE across the waters.
Another high will move E across the northern and central waters
Sun night through Mon night.
