NAVTEX Marine Forecast for Mid-Atlantic states waters
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1140 PM EDT Wed Oct 8 2025

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 cold front will move over the N and central waters,
and reach the far S waters overnight before stalling over or near
the far S waters from late tonight through Fri night. Behind the
front, high pressure builds S, resulting in counterflow to the
Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper, breaking waves. High
pressure then continues over the N and central waters into Fri
night, and then over the far N waters into Sat. To the S, low
pressure should form along the stalled cold front on Fri. The low
will deepen and expand as it moves N Fri night through Sun,
eventually being centered off of the mid- Atlantic coast Sun
night, then stalling or drifting E through Mon night. Mariners
should monitor later forecasts on this coastal system, and begin
to consider avoidance plans for the weekend.
