from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

1036 AM EDT Thu Oct 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front over the S waters
will continue to move S today, stalling over or near the far S
waters tonight through Fri night. High pressure builds S behind
the front, resulting in counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the
potential for steeper, breaking waves. High pressure then
continues over the N and central waters into Fri night, and then
over the far N waters into Sat. To the S, low pressure should
form offshore of the E Florida coast along the stalled front Fri
night. The low will deepen and expand as it moves N late Fri
night through Sun, eventually being centered off of the mid-
Atlantic coast Sun night. The broad, complex low will extend over
much of the east coast Sun night and Mon, with the broad low
finally starting to shift E Mon night. Mariners must monitor
later forecasts on the coastal system, and begin to consider
avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration event for
the east coast, impactful to the mariner.
