.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong high pressure will remain
in place over the N and central waters today and tonight. The
high will slowly shift E of the waters Tue into Wed while
maintaining a weakening ridge axis W and SW into the area. A low
pressure trough along the SE coast will today, will weaken
tonight into Wed. A strong cold front will reach the N waters
Wed, then move quickly SE across the central waters Wed night.
The front will stall across the S waters Thu and Thu night, then
remain in the area through Fri, while high pressure builds N of
the area. Low pressure will begin to organize and strengthen
along the front off the Georgia and South Carolina coast Fri
night. The USCG communications facility Charleston, South
Carolina is still experiencing technical difficulties.
Technicians are aware of the problem. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
