SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
Mariners should monitor later
forecasts for the potential of a powerful low pressure system
over the weekend, and consideration of avoidance planning. High
pressure will build southeast tonight behind a cold front moving
south of the waters, and that will stall just south and
southeast of the waters. High pressure then continues over most
of the waters Thursday into early Thursday night. A cold front
will approach the northwest waters Thursday night and move into
the northern and central waters Friday, as low pressure
gradually broadens and strengthens over the southern waters. The
low will continue to strengthen Friday night and Saturday as it
gradually moves north-northeast, reaching the New England coast
as a powerful low by Saturday night. The low will move into the
Canadian Maritimes Sunday, with high pressure slowly building
east behind the low. High pressure will then be over most of the
area Sunday night through Monday night, with a weak surface
trough over parts of the northeast waters moving south and
diminishing Monday, and a weak low possibly developing and
lingering just off of the southeast coast Monday and Monday
night.
