.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure centered E and NE of
the waters will continue drifting to the NE tonight, remain
nearly stationary well NE of the area Mon into Tue, and then
finally lift N and weaken across Nova Scotia by Wed. High
pressure will build SE over the area tonight into Mon night, then
continue SE of the waters Tue and Tue night. A stationary front
will weaken over the S portions tonight, then dissipate Mon. A
low pressure trough will form along the SE coast later Mon,
persist into Tue, then dissipate by Wed. A cold front will
approach from the NW late Thu and Thu night, then slow and weaken
over the N and central portions Fri and Fri night. A low pressure
trough will move off the SE coast Fri and Fri night. The NAVTEX
station at Chesapeake, VA, is inoperative. Technicians are aware.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
