ANZ899-031445- 1031 PM EDT Wed Jul 2 2025 .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. $$ ANZ820-031445- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 1031 PM EDT Wed Jul 2 2025 .TONIGHT...W to SW winds 5 to 10 kt.
