ANZ899-022000- 452 AM EDT Wed Jul 2 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Mariners should use caution in and near any of the stronger thunderstorms which may become more widespread over many portions of the waters today through Thu. The stronger thunderstorms can produce very gusty winds and very rough seas. Otherwise, as high pressure remains over the S waters, a surface trough will be located over the N and central waters today into tonight. A cold front approaches from the NW early tonight, gradually moving SE across the N waters later tonight into Thu night as high pressure to the S retreats E. The front should weaken and stall over the central or S waters Fri through Sat, with weak low pressure forecast to form 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 Sat night into Sun night as high pressure to the N drifts off to the E, and any weak low pressure drifts off of or near the SE coast. $$ ANZ820-022000- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 452 AM EDT Wed Jul 2 2025 .TODAY...W to SW winds 10 to 20 kt.
