the E Florida coast along the stalled front Fri night. The low
will deepen and expand as it moves N late Fri night through Sun,
eventually being centered off of the mid-Atlantic coast Sun

coast Sun night and Mon, with the broad low finally starting to
shift E Mon night through Tue 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
