.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front across the central
waters will slowly move S today. Meanwhile, high pressure builds
SE across the waters behind the front today, then shifts E Sun

coast Sun night, then tracks slowly E to NE across the N portions
early Mon through Tue night, before clearing NE of the area Wed.
The low pulls a cold front across the N portions Mon and Mon
night, then stalls across the central areas Tue through Wed
night.
