.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front will persist
near the eastern waters tonight through Sat while a cold front
approaches from the NW over the same time frame. The cold front
will then slowly move SE over the area Sun through Mon. By Mon
night, the front should extend SW to NE over the waters while high
pressure builds into the N waters. The high will retreat as the
front begins lifting N as a warm front over the N waters Tue
through Wed night while the rest of the waters are under the
influence of a semi stationary front.
