.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Tropical Storm Dexter, currently
centered E of the outer Mid-Atlantic waters near 38.6N62.2W, will
continue tracking E of the area tonight, then move well E into
the Atlantic Wed. See the latest advisory from the National
Hurricane Center for more information. Otherwise, a stationary
front will continue over the far S waters tonight through Wed
while slowly weakening. High pressure will build just N of the
area tonight into Thu, then shift E of the region Fri through Sun
night while maintaining a ridge just N of the area. A weak low
pressure will gradually develop across the outer and S portions
of the waters Wed and Wed night, slowly drift NW across the area
Thu into Fri, and then turn more N to NE along the coast Sat into
Sun. The National Hurricane Center currently lists this system
with a medium chance of acquiring tropical characteristics, and a
tropical depression could form later in the week. The NAVTEX
station at Chesapeake, VA, is inoperative. Technicians are
investigating.
