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

.SYNOPSIS...A series weak low pressure centers will move E along
a stationary front over or just S of the far southern waters
tonight. A stronger low will develop and move E along the stalled
front Mon into Tue, before passing E of the region late Tue and
Tue night. Mariners should closely monitor the latest forecast
and consider avoidance routing as the low has the potential to
become intense as it moves E over the southern portion of the
waters Mon night into Tue. Otherwise, a high pressure ridge will
move over the waters Tue night and Wed, then shift E of the
region Wed night. A weakening cold front will move SE over the N
portion Wed, stall Wed night, and begin to return N as a warm
front later Wed night. The warm front will lift N across the
northern Mid-Atlantic and New England waters Thu into Fri night,
while a high pressure ridge slowly shifts N across the southern
waters.
