NAVTEX Marine Forecast for Mid-Atlantic states waters
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
448 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
this evening, reaching the far S waters tonight 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.
