.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A front will be nearly stationary
over and near the E waters today as weak low pressure centers
move NE along the front. Meanwhile, high pressure will be located
over the NW waters. The front should move slightly N as a warm
front tonight and Fri as a cold front approaches the waters from
the W. The slow-moving cold front weakens as it moves E into the
waters Fri and Fri night, with the warm front passing off to the
NE. Another, stronger cold front approaches the N waters from the
W Sat, moves into the N and central waters Sat night and early
Sun, and finally reaches the S waters late Sun and Sun night. The
front will then become nearly stationary from SW to NE across the
area for Mon and Mon night with weak low pressure centers moving
NE along the front. High pressure builds into the NW waters
behind the front.
