ANZ899-010230- 951 AM EST Sun Nov 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front will develop near the coast this afternoon, then lift N through the central and N waters late today or this evening as a cold front approaches from the W. The cold front will move SE across the N and central waters tonight through Mon, then stall over the S waters Mon night as high pressure builds in across the N waters. Low pressure will develop along the stationary front just inland over the SE U.S. Mon night, with the low intensifying while lifting NE from near the Outer Banks Tue to near Georges Bank Tue night. A cold front extending S from the low will move quickly E and SE across the waters late Tue into Tue night. High pressure will build over the waters Wed, and persist Wed night. Yet another cold front will move across the N and central portions late Thu before stalling across the S waters Thu night. Mariners should monitor the latest forecasts for the intensifying low pressure system set to impact the region late Mon night into Wed, and begin to strongly consider avoidance routing at this time. $$ ANZ820-010230- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 951 AM EST Sun Nov 30 2025 .TODAY...S winds 15 to 25 kt.
