428 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
prevail over the far S waters today. A stationary front will
linger off of the mid-Atlantic coast today with a series of weak
lows moving E along the front. A slightly stronger low will move
E and NE along the front off of the Virginia Capes by this
afternoon, continue to move slowly E and NE over the central and
N waters tonight into Tue night, and then weaken to the E and NE
of the area by Wed. A low pressure trough will strengthen along
the coast Wed and Wed night, with a warm front developing and
lifting NE from the N waters Wed night. A cold front will
approach from the W and NW Thu, and then move offshore Thu night
into Fri. The front will weaken and then likely stall over the
central or S waters Fri night as high pressure builds over the
mid-Atlantic states.
