.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front across the
waters will become a warm front tonight and move NE of the area
by Thu. The associated low pressure will move off the New
England coast tonight and NE of the area Thu while pulling a
cold front across the northern waters. The front will stall over
the northern waters late Thu while a low will slide offshore
along the front Thu night into Fri. As the low slides E across
the northern waters a cold front will push across the central and
southern waters Fri and Fri night. The front will push just E of
the area Fri night as yet another low develops along the front.
The low will move E of the central waters Sat then move NE of the
northern waters by Sat night. High pressure will build over the
waters Sat night into Sun behind the low before a weak cold front
pushes offshore of the Mid-Atlantic Sun and Sun night. The front
will clear E of the area late Sun night as high pressure builds
in across the area Mon and Mon night.
