.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A trough over the outer waters
will remain over the area tonight into Fri. A slow-moving cold
front near the coast will move SE into the N portions tonight and
Fri. The front will stall over the central waters by later Fri.
Another trough will develop over the far S waters tonight, with
weak low pressure forming along the trough 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. The high will
persist over the N and central waters through Mon night. Low
pressure is expected to move into the far S waters sometime
between Fri and Sat, then meander over those waters into Mon
night. The low will move N across the central and northern
portions on Tue into Tue night. The low has the potential to
organize into a tropical or subtropical depression by the
weekend. Please monitor the latest information from the National
Hurricane Center.
