079 FZNT22 KWBC 072042 OFFNT2 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC 442 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters beyond 20 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore. Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms. ANZ899-080800- 442 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure continues over the area this evening, then gradually shifts E tonight as a cold front approaches from the W. The cold front moves E across the N and central waters Wed and Wed night, eventually stalling over or near the far S waters Thu. Behind the front, another high builds S, resulting in counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper, breaking waves. High pressure then continues over most of the area into Fri night, and then over the N waters Sat and Sat night. To the S, low pressure forms along the stalled cold front on Fri. The low and its associated warm front should slowly move N offshore of the SE U.S. coast Fri night through Sat night, before stalling off the Delmarva or New Jersey coast Sun into Sun night. The USCG broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina is still experiencing technical difficulties. Technicians are aware of the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience. $$ ANZ820-080800- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 442 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 ...GALE FORCE WINDS POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT... .TONIGHT...S winds 10 to 15 kt, becoming S to SW 15 to 25 kt.
