.SYNOPSIS...Mariners should use caution in and near any tstms
that develop over the waters today into Thu, with the stronger
tstms producing very gusty winds and very rough seas. Otherwise,
high pressure will persist E of the area today into Sun night
while maintaining a ridge westward into the region. A cold front
will approach from the NW tonight into Thu, move slowly SE over
the waters N of the area later Thu into Fri, and then stall N of
the waters Fri night. The front will remain N of the waters Sat
through Sun night as weak low pressure areas move E along the
front. Chesapeake NAVTEX remains inoperable. Technicians are
aware. We apologize for the inconvenience.
