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.
