.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will prevail just E
of the waters today into tonight as low pressure and an
associated weak cold front appoaches the N waters from the W. The
low will begin to strengthen and slide E over the N waters later
tonight into Tue, with a trailing cold front reaching the central
waters by later Tue as the low moves off to the E of the N
waters. The front will stall over the central waters Tue night,
and return N as a warm front Wed as another low moves E over
southern New England. Weak low pressure will slide E and pass
just N of the region Wed night. A stronger low will move E and
move from Ohio into Pennsylvania Thu, with a warm front extending
E near 40N. The low will track NE and pass N of the waters Thu
night into Fri while pulling a strong cold front SE over the
region. The cold front will clear E of the waters Fri night as a
high pressure ridge develops over the eastern United States.
