NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal
waters forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...The W portion of broad high pressure remains over
much of the S waters tonight through Mon night. A persistent
surface trough will be located near the southeast U.S. coast
especially from Fri night through Mon night. To the N, high
pressure will also be in place over much of the waters through
Fri, except for a surface trough near the mid-Atlantic coast, as
a front remains nearly stationary just N of the area. The high
over the N waters shifts SE Fri and the front should move into
the N waters Fri night into Sat, where it will become nearly
stationary from Fri night through Mon night. Low pressure should
develop along the front by Sat night and slowly move NE, moving
away from the NE waters Mon. Weak high pressure returns to the N
waters for Mon night, except for another surface trough along and
near the coast.
