ANZ899-230230-
1054 PM EDT Sun Apr 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A series of developing low
pressure centers will move NE along a front, which extends NE
across the waters from the Georgia coast. The final low will
pull an associated cold front E over the southern waters early
Mon as another front approaches the N waters and weakens. The
final low will intensify over the outer portion of the southern
and central waters later Mon into Mon night, with the intense
low passing E of the central and northern waters Tue into Tue
night. All mariners should monitor the latest forecast and
progress of this strengthening low, and execute avoidance plans
as necessary. Thunderstorms are likely near the front and low
mainly over the southern and central waters tonight into Mon.
Gusty winds and rough seas are possible in these thunderstorms
and mariners should use caution. The intense low will move NE
away from the region Wed as the next cold front begins to move
off the New Jersey and Delmarva coasts. The front will move SE
over the northern and central waters Wed night into Thu, and the
S waters Thu night. High pressure will build SE into the region
Fri and Fri night.
