.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure centered just W of
Bermuda will remain nearly stationary today through Sat while
maintaining a ridge across the southern waters. The ridge will
shift S of the area Sat night and Sun. Meanwhile, a cold front
will move S into the northern waters today, then will stall off
Currituck Beach Light late today into tonight before lifting back
N as a warm front later tonight through Sat night. Another cold
front will move SE into the northern waters Sun and Sun night,
then will slow and stall Mon and Mon night, extending from SW to
NE across the area. A series of low pressure centers will track
NE along the stalled front Mon and Mon night. The front will
finally move E of the waters Tue. A secondary cold front will
move E across the N waters Tue and Tue night, while high pressure
builds E to the coast.
