346 AM EST Fri Jan 30 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A weak stationary front will be
off the SE U.S. coast today. To the N, a series of surface
troughs will move SE across the N and central waters through
early Sat, with high pressure briefly building in Sat. Low
pressure should form off of the SE U.S. coast along the front
later today, drifting NE tonight and then rapidly strengthening
and broadening off of the SE U.S. coast Sat and Sat night. The
intense low will gradually move NE Sat night through Sun, being
centered S of Nova Scotia late Sun night and approaching
Newfoundland Mon. Another series of surface troughs will move S
across the waters behind the low Mon and Mon night, continuing
over the N waters through Tue night. High pressure will gradually
build E over the far S waters Tue and Tue night. Mariners should
monitor the forecasts for Sat and beyond, preparing to execute
avoidance plans from the powerful low pressure system.
