.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front across the central
waters will dissipate late today. Low pressure just S of the cold
front will slowly move SE through Mon while slowly pulling a
cold front S across the S waters. A high pressure ridge will
build SE over the northern waters tonight through Sun night,
then weaken Mon. Another weakening cold front will move S over
the northern waters late Mon and Mon night, before another high
builds just N of the waters Tue and Tue night. The high will
shift NE of the area Wed and Wed night. Hurricane Erin, currently
well SE of the waters, will approach the region from the SE and
S Tue and Tue night, then track N and NE to the E of the area Wed
and Wed night. Long period SE to S swell from Erin will move
into the S waters Sun night, expand across the remainder of the
area Mon through Tue, and continue through Wed night. For more
information on Hurricane Erin, please closely monitor the latest
