West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 20 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank
from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
persist across the southern waters through Thu night. A
stationary front will linger along the N and central mid-
Atlantic coast tonight through about Tue night. Several weak low
pressure areas are expected to move E and NE along a stalled
frontal boundary tonight into Tue, then move NE of the area by
early Wed. A low pressure trough will strengthen inland and over
the N and central N mid Atlantic coast Wed and Wed night, with a
warm front developing and lifting NE and passing N of the waters
Wed night. A cold front will approach from the W and NW Thu, and
then move offshore Thu night into Fri. The cold front will likely
stall as it moves SE over the central waters Fri and then likely
dissipate before Fri night as high pressure builds over the
mid-Atlantic and southern areas Sat and Sat night.
