436 AM EDT Fri Oct 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong low pressure over the
outer northern waters will remain nearly stationary this morning.
Vessels planning to be in this area should execute avoidance
plans. As high pressure gradually builds E off of the coast today
and tonight, the low will slowly weaken and begin drifting SE
this afternoon, then accelerate S towards Bermuda tonight. High
pressure will weaken slightly Sat as it spreads E across the
northern waters, then persist through Mon night. A weak cold
front will move into the far NE portion early Tue, followed by
ridging becoming reestablished Tue and Tue night.
