.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front should emerge off of
the central waters today under overall weak, broad high pressure.
The warm front will move N tonight while a cold front approaches
from the NW. The cold front should sweep quickly E over the N
waters by Sun afternoon and through the S waters overnight Sun
and into Mon. While high pressure will then build over the S
waters, around persistent, broad low pressure over SE Canada,
another series of surface troughs will pass from NW to SE over
the N waters Mon through Tue night. High pressure then gradually
builds E over most of the waters Wed and Wed night. However, a
surface front may develop off of the Carolina coast late Tue
night with weak low pressure possibly moving E along the front
and off of the coast Wed night. The low will move E of the area
Thu and the cold front will push S into the southern waters and
stall into Thu night.
