.SYNOPSIS...Strengthening low pressure over the outer central

pass NE of the area later Sat while the cold front stalls over
the central portions. A weak low will move E along the stalled
boundary over the central waters Sat night into Sun night. The
front will drift N as a warm front Sun night as another low
develops along the Mid-Atlantic coast. This next low will track E
and NE over the far NW waters Mon before weakening NE of the area
Mon night. Mariners should use caution for locally gusty winds
and rough seas in and near scattered to numerous thunderstorms
likely over parts of the area into early next week. Yet another
low will approach the NW waters early Tue, and pass N and then NE
of the area late Tue into Tue night while pulling a cold front
over the NW and N waters. High pressure will build E towards the
region Wed and Wed night. Chesapeake NAVTEX is out of service.
Technicians are aware, and are awaiting parts. We apologize for
