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

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front will persist over waters tonight.
Low pressure along the front near the E coast of Florida will
deepen and expand as it moves N late tonight through Sun,
eventually being centered just 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 begin to consider avoidance plans as needed.
This will be a long duration event for the east coast, 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 Wed and Wed night.
