.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Intense low pressure centered
about 200 nm E of Cape Charles this morning will track very
slowly N today, then turn NW tonight while approaching western
Long Island or New Jersey. The low will become nearly stationary
along the New Jersey coast Sun into Mon while weakening, then
move NE across Cape Cod and the Gulf of Maine Mon night into Tue
night. High pressure SE of the area will build W the S waters Mon
and Mon night, then expand across the rest of the waters Tue
through Wed night. Strong counterflow to the Gulf Stream will
create large, very steep, and possibly breaking waves resulting
in a particularly hazardous sea state. Mariners should continue
monitoring forecasts as the intensifying low pressure system
slowly crosses the region into the weekend, and consider
avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration event,
and highly impactful to the mariner.
