.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure off the coast of northern Florida will
deepen and expand as it moves N today through Sun, eventually
being centered offshore of the Virginia Capes Sun night. This
broad, complex low will move very slowly E from the Virginia
Capes to the outer Mid-Atlantic waters Sun night through Tue
night, before clearing well E into the Atlantic Wed and Wed
night. Mariners should monitor later forecasts on the coastal
system, and consider avoidance plans as needed. This will be a
long duration event for the east coast, and impactful to the
mariner. A weak low pressure trough or cold front will pass SE
across the area Tue and Tue night. Another cold front will
approach from the NW late Wed and Wed night.
