ANZ899-132000-
439 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A broad and complex coastal
low will persist today. One low center will remain nearly
stationary near the mouth of the Delaware Bay today. A trough
extends south from that center to a second low center SE of Cape
Fear. The southern low center will move quickly E across the
southern waters today and tonight, while the northern center
dissipates just inland later tonight into Tue. Later on Tue, a
new low center will form over the outer Mid- Atlantic waters.
Mariners should continue to monitor later forecasts on this
coastal system as it will be highly impactful to the mariner
through the middle of the week. The entire complex low will drift
SE away from the waters Tue night through Wed night. High
pressure will build S into the eastern U.S. Wed through Fri. On
Thu, the broad low, still well E of the waters, will drift back
W, leading to a strengthening pressure gradient, particularly
over the outer northern waters. The low will finally move E away
from the area Fri night as high pressure builds E offshore into
the waters.
