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

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure off the SE U.S. coast will deepen and
expand as it moves N tonight into Sun, with a secondary low
forming and eventually being centered offshore of the Virginia
Capes Sun night. This broad, complex low will move very slowly E
from the Virginia Capes to the outer Mid-Atlantic waters Sun
night through Tue night, before clearing well E into the Atlantic
Wed and Wed night. Mariners should monitor later forecasts on
the coastal system, and consider avoidance plans as needed. This
will be a long duration event for the east coast, and impactful
to the mariner. A weak low pressure trough or cold front will
pass SE across the area Tue and Tue night. Another cold front
will approach from the NW late Tue into Tue night, and move SE
across the waters Wed and Wed night. High pressure will build in
across the region Thu and Thu night.
