.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will move S and E
into the NW waters late this evening, continue moving E across
the northern and central waters later tonight, and will reach the
southern waters Sun morning. The front will clear E of the N and
central waters Sun, and the S waters Sun night, except over the
far SW portions near the Georgia coast where the front may linger
into Mon. High pressure will build E across the waters Sun night
through Mon night, then move just E of the region Tue and Tue
night while maintaining a ridge over the central and S waters
through Wed. A cold front will move SE across the northern
waters Wed, become stationary over the central waters Wed night,
