.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong high pressure will remain
in place over the northern and central waters tonight through Mon
night. The high will slowly shift E of the waters Tue into Wed
while maintaining a weakening ridge axis W and SW into the area.
A low pressure trough along the SE coast will persist tonight
through Tue, then weaken Tue night into Wed. The trough will
begin to strengthen late Thu into Fri night. A strong cold front
will reach the northern waters Wed, then move quickly SE across
the central waters Wed night. The front will stall across the
southern waters Thu and Thu night, then remain in the area
through Fri night, while high pressure builds to the N of the
area. Low pressure will begin to organize along the front off
the Georgia and South Carolina coast Fri night. The USCG
communications facility Charleston, South Carolina is still
experiencing technical difficulties. Technicians are aware of
the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience.
