.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will become
stationary across the southern waters today, then weaken and
dissipate tonight into Sun. A weak ridge will extend N across
the waters later Sun and Sun night before moving E of the area

waters Mon night, followed by the associated cold front moving SE
across the waters Tue into Tue night. The front will stall
across the southern waters Wed, then begin to lift N as a warm
front late Wed night. Meanwhile to the N, high pressure will
build offshore across the central and northern waters behind the
front Wed, then gradually slide E across the area through Wed
night.
