.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will slowly push S
across the central and S waters today. A stronger cold front will
move into the N waters tonight, then merge with the original
front and accelerate S, moving S of the waters on Sat. Strong
high pressure over New England will move SE off the New England
and Mid- Atlantic coast Sat night, persist across the waters
through Sun evening, and then move E and SE of the area late Sun
night. A warm front will lift N and NE across the northern waters
Sun night. Another cold front will move E and SE over the N
waters Mon, and then weaken over the central and southern waters
Mon night into Tue night as a second cold front moves quickly Se
across the N waters.
