from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Mariners should use caution in
and near any strong thunderstorms, which can produce very gusty
winds and very rough seas. As high pressure continues over the S
waters, a slow-moving cold front will remain along or near the
coast of the N and central waters through Thu, with a trough
ahead of the front over the waters tonight into Thu. High
pressure to the S shifts E Thu as the front to the N moves SE
late Thu through Fri, eventually stalling over the central
waters. Meanwhile, another trough develops over the far S waters
Thu night, and weak low pressure should form along the trough on
Fri. The front should move back N as a weak warm front Fri night
and Sat as high pressure builds over the N and central waters.
High pressure should then continue there through early next week
except for a surface trough along and near the coast. To the S,
low pressure should meander off of the SE coast through early
next week. The low has the potential to organize into a tropical
or subtropical depression by later in the week or over the
weekend. Please monitor the latest information from the National
Hurricane Center.
