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 will persist today.
One low center will remain nearly stationary near the mouth of
the Delaware Bay today. A trough extends south from that center
to a second low center well S of the waters. The northern center
will dissipate just inland tonight into Tue as a new center forms
over the outer Mid- Atlantic waters. Mariners should continue to
monitor later forecasts on this coastal system as it will be
highly impactful to the mariner through the middle of the week.
The entire complex low will drift SE away from the waters Tue
night through Wed night. 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.
