.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure centered just W of
Bermuda will remain nearly stationary today while maintaining a
ridge across the southern waters. The ridge will shift S and SE
of the area tonight and Sun. Meanwhile, a stationary front
extending E across the waters from near Currituck Beach Light
will lift back N as a warm front today and tonight. A cold front
will move SE into the northern waters Sun into Sun night, then
will slow and stall late Sun night, Mon and Mon night, extending
from SW to NE across the area. A series of low pressure centers
will track NE along the stalled front during this time frame.
The front will finally move E of the waters Tue. A secondary
cold front will move E across the N waters Tue and Tue night,
while high pressure builds E to the coast. The high will cross
the waters Wed and Wed night as low pressure develops S and SE
of the area.
