.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure remains anchored
across most of the waters tonight, while a stationary front
persists across the far N portions generally along 40N. Further
S, a stationary front persists well S of the area along 28N, but
continues forcing strong easterlies across the far S portions
between 31N and 34N. The stationary front over the N portions
lifts N of the area Wed, while the front S of the waters
gradually weakens Wed and Wed night, allowing the high pressure
to expand over the remainder of the area. The high shifts E Wed
night into Thu, maintaining a ridge across the S and central
portions Fri through Sun night. A cold front approaches the coast
Thu, then moves into the N portions Thu night. The front
continues S to near the Virginia Capes Fri, stalls Fri night into
Sat, then returns N as a warm front Sat night into Sun. Another
cold front approaches from the NW later Sun and Sun night.
