.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front extending E
across the waters from near Cape Hatteras will remain in place
today. As one area of low pressure over the outer Mid-Atlantic
Waters moves E, another low will develop near the Outer Banks
tonight, then slowly drift E and broaden E of the area Wed
through Fri. A high pressure ridge will build S across the far
northern portions today into Wed, then expand S along the coast
Wed night through Fri night. A weakening cold front will move E
into the northern waters Sat, then quickly dissipate. Another
ridge will build E into the waters behind the front Sat night.
