ANZ899-310800- 440 PM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A surface trough develops over the N waters tonight behind a front that will stall over the S waters. Low pressure will move E along the front overnight. The trough diminishes over the N waters Sun as high pressure builds in, while to the S, the low will continue to slowly move E along the front, farther offshore. The low then slowly moves NE Sun night and Mon, reaching the NE waters by early Tue. This low moves well NE of the NE waters Tue night. The low will be followed by a series of weak lows that develop along the meandering front and also move NE through Wed. With high pressure returning over the N waters by Wed, the front to the S should start to move N as a warm front Wed night. The high over the N waters shifts E on Thu. The front then moves slowly N over the area Thu and Thu night attached to low pressure moving N along and near the east coast. $$ ANZ820-310800- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 440 PM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025 .TONIGHT...N to NW winds less than 10 kt, becoming variable, then, becoming N 10 to 20 kt.
