.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will prevail over
the S waters through tonight, while a series of surface troughs
moves SE across the N waters. High pressure will be over much of
the area early Sat, then as the high shifts E and S, a warm front
will move N over the central waters Sat and through the N waters
Sat night. A cold front sweeps E across the N waters Sun and
through the S waters Sun night and very early Mon. High pressure
then gradually builds over the S waters for Mon night through Tue
night, while a series of surface troughs moves SE over the N
waters around broad low pressure well to the NE of the area along
Atlantic Canada. A warm front may begin to emerge off of the
mid-Atlantic coast late Tue night.
