ANZ899-101945-
454 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will stall over the
far S waters today and tonight. High pressure will move offshore
from New England to near Georges Bank by late today, resulting in
counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper,
breaking waves. The high will then shift NE of the area tonight
and Sat. To the S, low pressure will form offshore of the E
Florida coast along the stalled front tonight. The low will
deepen and expand as it moves N late tonight through Sun,
eventually being centered just offshore of the Virginia Capes Sun
night. This broad, complex low will move very slowly E from the
Virginia Capes to the Outer Mid-Atlantic Waters Sun night
through Tue night. Mariners must monitor later forecasts on the
coastal system, and begin to consider avoidance plans as needed.
This will be a long duration event for the east coast, impactful
to the mariner.
