.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 night 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 and 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. High pressure builds into the NW waters from the W behind
the front.
