Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure just S of the waters
will deepen and expand as it moves N tonight through Sun, with a
secondary low forming Sun, and 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 E of
the area Wed. Mariners must monitor later forecasts on the
coastal system, and begin to consider avoidance plans as needed.
This will be a long duration event for the east coast, and
impactful to the mariner. A cold front will approach from the NW
late Tue night into early Wed. The front will then move offshore
late Wed into Wed night, then clear E of the area by Thu. High
pressure will build in across the waters Thu and Thu night.
