.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front will extend
from S of Cape Hatteras E across the central waters today through
Wed night. Weak low pressure will move E along the nearly
stalled front through today into early tonight. The nearly
stationary front will gradually drift further S and be along the
SE coast Wed into Thu and likely dissipates over this region
later Thu night. High pressure will build in across the N and
central areas of the offshore waters from the N and NE today
through Thu, then shift further E and NE of the region through
Sat night while extending a ridge SW over the waters. A cold
front will approach the N waters Fri night, and move very slowly
S and reaching the far N waters late Sat and Sat night.
