.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will move SE over
the northern and central waters today through tonight. A weak
area of low pressure will develop along the front near the
Virginia Capes tonight, then quickly lift NE. The northern
portion of the front will move E away from the northern waters on
Mon, while the southern portion becomes stationary extending E
from around Cape Fear Mon night through Tue night. A weak low may
form along the front Tue night or Wed, causing the front to sag
farther S Wed and Wed night. The front will then become
stationary again across the far southern waters Wed night through
Thu night while high pressure gradually builds E across the
northern and central waters. Chesapeake NAVTEX continues to be
reported inoperable.
