.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong low pressure over Nova
Scotia will continue slowly tracking NE away from the area
tonight before stalling. A series of low pressure troughs or
secondary cold fronts will move across the N portions tonight
into Sun. A high pressure ridge S of the waters will gradually
build N into the southern waters tonight through Mon night. The
ridge will shift E Tue and Tue night, as another cold front
crosses the area and stalls across the S waters. Another high
pressure ridge will build into the region Wed and Wed night as
the stalled front begins to lift N as a warm front. Another low
will approach the coast from the W while pulling yet another cold
front across the region later Thu into Thu night.
