.SYNOPSIS...A weak stationary front will persist across the far
southern waters tonight and Sun while broad low pressure moves E
across Nova Scotia. The front will lift N as a warm front Sun
night before becoming nearly stationary again off of the Carolina
coast on Mon. A weak area of low pressure will move E along the
front Mon, causing the front to push back S into the far southern
waters Mon night and become stationary again Tue. Meanwhile, high
pressure will build E from the mid-Atlantic coast into the
northern waters Tue into Wed. High pressure will move E away from
the waters Wed night allowing the front across the far southern
waters to gradually lift back N through the southern and central
waters as a warm front Wed night through Thu night. Chesapeake NAVTEX
is out of service. Technicians are aware, awaiting parts. We
apologize for the inconvenience.
