.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure E of the region will
continue moving E and SE today while the associated cold front
moves S across the central waters. The front will weaken and
stall over the central or S waters tonight into Sat, and then
dissipate by Sat night. High pressure will build S and SE over
the waters N of the front today through Sat. The high will
dominate most of the area Sat night into Sun, before sliding off
to the E and NE of the waters late Sun into Sun night as a weak
cold front approaches the coast. The front will remain near the
coast Mon, slowly move SE over the N waters Mon night into Tue,
and then stall over the central waters Tue night.
