1037 AM EDT Thu May 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front will slowly lift N
over the N waters today into tonight while gradually weakening,
as a weak low pressure trough over the outer waters moves E.
Mariners should use caution for locally gusty winds and rough
seas in and near scattered to numerous locally heavy tstms that
will be likely over portions of the waters today into tonight.
Otherwise, weak low pressure will move E across the N waters
tonight into Fri while slowly pulling a weak cold front over the
area. The weak low and front will pass E of the area Fri night.
Another warm front will lift N across the waters Fri night into
Sat night, before a cold front crosses the area Sat night and
Sun. A series of secondary cold fronts or low pressure troughs
will move SE over the region Sun night into Mon night.
