.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front positioned
S of the area will persist through Fri. The western portion of
the front will slowly lift N as a warm front Fri night into Sun
night. Weak high pressure across the central waters today will
shift E away from the area tonight. A cold front will approach
the N and central waters into the afternoon, then slowly move E
and SE over those waters later today and tonight, clearing E of
the area Fri. High pressure will build E into the central and N
waters behind the front Fri, then slowly drift E across those
waters Fri night into Sat night. A weak cold front or low
pressure trough will clip the far N waters Fri night. Yet another
cold front will approach the coast Sun before moving just
offshore early Sun night as low pressure develops over the far NW
portion of the waters. The low pressure area will track E and NE
and pass just N of the waters later Sun night and Mon while
pulling the trailing cold front E over the area. The low and
cold front will clear E of the waters Mon night as high pressure
builds over the SE states.
