1026 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025

from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

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...High pressure gradually shifts E
tonight as a cold front approaches from the W. The cold front
moves E across the N and central waters Wed and Wed night,
eventually stalling over or near the far S waters Thu. Behind the
front, another high builds S, resulting in counterflow to the
Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper, breaking waves. High
pressure then continues over most of the area into Fri night, and
then over the N waters Sat and Sat night. To the S, low pressure
forms along the stalled cold front on Fri. The low and its
associated warm front should slowly move N offshore of the SE
U.S. coast Fri night through Sat night, before stalling off the
Delmarva or New Jersey coast Sun into Sun night. The USCG broadcast
from Charleston, South Carolina is still experiencing technical
difficulties. Parts are on order, with the outage unfortunately
expected for another week or two. Mariners should monitor the
frequency for its return. We apologize for any inconvenience.
