.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...As high pressure remains over
the S waters, a surface trough will be located over the N and
central waters tonight through Wed night. A cold front
approaches from the NW Thu, gradually moving SE across the N
waters Thu night and Fri as high pressure to the S retreats E.
The front should weaken and stall over the central waters Fri
night through Sat, with weak low pressure possibly forming off
of the SE U.S. coast just S of the front along a surface trough.
The front should move back N as a weak warm front late Sat and
Sat night as high pressure builds N. The high continues over most
of the area Sun and Sun night, with any weak low pressure
drifting off of the SE coast.
