.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure across the waters
will shift E of the area tonight, with a warm front clipping the
N waters as it lifts NE away from the area. A strong cold front
will approach the coast Wed, move E and SE across the waters Wed
night, then clear E of the area Thu. High pressure will move E
across the area Thu night into Fri, then persist into Sat while
weakening. A weak low and an associated trough or cold front will
quickly pass across the northern areas Sat. Developing low
pressure and associated warm and cold fronts will approach the
waters late Sat. The warm front will lift across the northern
waters Sat night as the developing low and cold front approach
the coast. The low and associated front will quickly race NE
across the area Sun, with the cold front moving SE across the
area into Sun night. High pressure will build across the area
from the NW behind the front Sun night.
