ANZ899-212000-
404 AM EST Wed Jan 21 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will build E over
the region today, then shift E of the area later today and
tonight. A warm front will emerge off the coast near the Outer
Banks today, then lift N of the area by late tonight. This will
be followed by a cold front moving E across the N and central
waters Thu into Thu night. That front will stall across the
central waters Fri, then become absorbed by a stronger cold
front moving SE across the waters late Fri and Fri night. That
stronger front will stall just S of the area Sat as high pressure
builds E across the northern waters. The front will then lift
back N into the area as a warm front Sat night through Sun night.
Low pressure will develop along the front near the Outer Banks
on Sun, then lift NE to near the Mid- Atlantic coast Sun night.
Mariners are advised to monitor the latest OPC forecasts for this
potential developing system.
