.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure centered just off
the coast of the Carolinas will track NE across the waters
through Sat, then clear well E of the area by Sat night. High
pressure will build E across the waters late Sat into Sun, then
shift NE and dissipate Sun night. A strong cold front will
approach the coast late Sun and Sun night, then sweep E across
the waters Mon and Mon night. A series of low pressures may
develop along or just ahead of the cold front Mon. High pressure
will build E across the area behind the cold front late Mon into
Tue, then shift E Tue night ahead of the next approaching front.
That next cold front will move across the waters Wed and Wed
night.
