934 PM EST Mon Jan 19 2026

West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 20 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank
from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

934 PM EST Mon Jan 19 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A weak high pressure ridge will
move E of the area early tonight, while a strong cold front
approaches the coast. The cold front will move offshore tonight,
then clear E of the waters by early Tue. High pressure will
gradually build E toward the coast Tue, settle offshore Tue
night, then shift E of the area Wed and Wed night. Another cold
front will approach from the NW Wed night, then move across the
waters Thu into Thu night. Another stronger cold front will
approach from the NW Fri, then move SE across the waters Fri
night. The front will stall along the S portions Sat and Sat
night, while a strong area of high pressure builds SE over the
northern areas. Low pressure may develop along the stalled front
just off the coast later Sat and Sat night. Mariners are advised
to monitor later forecasts for updates on the potential coastal
system this weekend. The NAVTEX transmitter in Charleston is not
operational at this time. Technicians are aware, and parts have
been ordered.
