.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
prevail over the far southern waters tonight through Wed night.
A cold front over the central waters will stall tonight, then
drift N as a warm front Wed and Wed night. Low pressure will
develop along the front off the Mid-Atlantic coast Thu, then
drift slowly E to SE across the N and central waters Thu night
into Fri while pulling a weakening cold front across the area.
The weak low will lift N over the area Fri night as the next cold
front approaches from the W. This cold front will move E and SE
over the waters Sat and Sat night. A series of low pressure
troughs or secondary cold fronts will move SE across the N waters
Sun and Sun night. Another low will move into the central and S
