.SYNOPSIS...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.
