NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A broad and complex coastal low pressure with the
main center just to the east of Ocean City will remain nearly
stationary today, then dissipate later tonight. A new low center
will re-develop across the outer mid-Atlantic waters early Tue,
with the entire complex low system drifting E and SE away from
the area Tue night through Wed night. Mariners should continue to
monitor forecasts on this coastal system as it will be highly
impactful to the mariner through the middle of the week. High
pressure will build S into the eastern U.S. Wed through Fri. On
Thu, the broad low, still well E of the waters, will drift back
W, leading to a strengthening pressure gradient across the
waters. The low will finally move E away from the area Fri night
as high pressure builds E offshore into the mid-Atlantic waters.
