.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure centered just W of
Bermuda will slowly shift SE today. Meanwhile, a warm front
over the far NE waters this morning will lift N of the waters
today. A cold front will move SE into the northern waters today
and tonight, then will stall late tonight through Mon night,
extending NE from the Virginia Capes through the Outer Mid-
Atlantic Waters. A series of weak low pressure centers will
track NE along the stalled front tonight through Mon night. The
front will finally move E of the waters Tue. A secondary cold
front will move E across the N waters Tue and Tue night, while
high pressure builds E to the coast. The high will cross the
waters Wed and Wed night as weak low pressure develops S and SE
of the area. The high will gradually shift NE Thu, maintaining a
ridge across the waters Thu night. A cold front will approach the
coast of the Carolinas late Thu night.
