SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
A front will remain nearly stationary off of the N Carolina and Virginia coasts tonight, with weak low pressure moving E along the front. On Fri, the front moves N as a warm front, and gradually intensifying low pressure moves E along the front over the far N waters Fri night. A cold front associated with the low moves S into the S waters Fri night, and the front will then be nearly stationary there through Sat night as high pressure briefly builds S over the N waters. Low pressure moves off of the Carolina coast Sat night, with the low broadening and strengthening as it moves slowly NE off of the East Coast Sun through Mon. Mariners should monitor later forecasts for possible avoidance needs. A series of surface troughs will move over the area behind the low Mon night through Tue, with weak high pressure building E over much of the waters Tue night.
