.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A front will be nearly
stationary over and near the E waters through Thu as weak low
pressure centers move NE along the front. Meanwhile, high
pressure will be located over the NW waters. The front should
move slightly N as a warm front Thu night and Fri as a cold
front approaches the waters from the W. The slow-moving cold
front should weaken as it moves E across the waters Fri and Fri
night, with the warm front passing off to the NE. Another cold
front approaches the N waters from the W Sat, moves into the N
and central waters Sat night and early Sun, and finally reaches
the S waters late Sun and Sun night. High pressure builds into
the NW waters from the W behind the front.
