.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A series of surface troughs will
continue to move S across the N waters early this morning around
broad low pressure over Atlantic Canada, as high pressure will
be located over the S waters. A warm front should emerge off of
the central waters today under overall weak, broad high
pressure. The warm front will move N tonight while a cold front
approaches from the NW. The cold front should sweep quickly E
over the N waters by Sun afternoon and through the S waters
overnight Sun and into Mon. While high pressure will then build
over the S waters, around persistent, broad low pressure over SE
Canada, another series of surface troughs will pass from NW to SE
over the N waters Mon through Tue night. High pressure then
gradually builds E over most of the waters Wed and Wed night.
However, a surface front may develop off of the Carolina coast
late Tue night with weak low pressure possibly moving E along the
front and off of the coast Wed night.
