.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will persist E of
the area today into Sun night while maintaining a ridge over the
far S portion into tonight. The ridge will shift just S of the
area Thu into Sat night before extending back across the S
portions Sun and Sun night. A cold front will approach from the
NW today into early Thu, move slowly SE over the N and central
waters later Thu into Fri, and then stall over these waters Fri
night. The front will slowly drift N over the central and N
waters Sat night through Sun night as a series of weak low
pressure areas move E along the front. Chesapeake NAVTEX remains
inoperable. Technicians are aware. We apologize for the
inconvenience.
