.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...An occluded low pressure system
will track NE across the Outer Mid-Atlantic Waters tonight. A
trailing cold front will move slowly SE across the southern
waters into Thu, while a secondary trough moves slowly S through
the central waters behind the cold front. The cold front will
become stationary across the southern waters late Thu and
dissipate Thu night or early Fri. High pressure will briefly
build over the waters Fri, then shift SE of the region Fri night.
Another low and associated warm front will move offshore from the
Mid- Atlantic Fri night, then become absorbed into a cold front
moving S into the northern waters Sat. The low will pass E of the
area Sat night into Sun as the cold front continues moving SE
across the waters. Another high will build E over the northern
waters Sun, then drift S into the central and southern waters Sun
night. The high will settle over the central waters Mon and
persist across the region through Mon night.
