.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front over the NE
parts will move N of the area tonight. A cold front will slowly
move into the N and central waters tonight. The cold front will
then move E of the N waters and begin to stall over the central
and S waters later Wed into Wed night. The stalled front will
dissipate over the area Thu. Weak low pressure will move across
the southern and central portions Thu, then drift NE before
merging with the next system Sat. Low pressure will move off the
New Jersey coast Fri and push a cold front across the waters into
Sat night. The front will become nearly stationary across the
southern portions Sat, with a weak low forming across this
segment. The stationary front will then remain in place Sat night
and high pressure will build across the central and northern
portions. The high will remain over the central and northern
parts through Sun night.
