.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure E of the region

stationary front extending E and SE from Cape Hatteras this

pressure moves E along the front. A cold front will move S over
the area late Fri night and Sat, then stall across the central
waters Sat night and Sun while weakening. A weak high pressure
ridge will build over the region Sat night and Sun, then shift E
of the area Sun night. Another weak cold front will move SE
across the N waters Mon into Mon night, with a weak area of low
pressure possibly developing along the front. The front and low
will then weaken Mon night into Tue while passing E of the area.
Another high will build SE over the area Tue and Tue night.
