...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure will move northeastward from near the
North Carolina and Virginia coast late this morning, across the
central and northern waters later today into Sat while pulling an
associated cold front over the area. The low will then pass NE of
the waters later Sat and Sat night, with the trailing cold front
stalling over the central portions late Sat into Sun. Mariners
should use caution for locally very gusty winds and very rough
seas in and near scattered to numerous thunderstorms likely over
the region through the weekend. Otherwise, another low center
will track E and NE along boundary Sun night and Mon as the front
lifts N over the northern waters. The low will pass NE of the
waters Mon night with the associated boundary extending W and SW
from the low gradually lifting N into the far northern waters.
The warm front will then lift N of the area Tue as low pressure
crosses southern New England. A weak cold front will move E into
the N waters Tue night. Chesapeake NAVTEX is out of service.
Technicians are aware, and are awaiting parts. We apologize for
the inconvenience.
