SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
High pressure centered just W of
Bermuda will remain nearly stationary tonight through Sat while
maintaining a ridge across the southern waters. The ridge will
shift S and SE of the area Sat night and Sun. Meanwhile, a cold
front moving S over the northern waters this evening, then will
stall off Currituck Beach Light tonight before lifting back N as
a warm front Sat through Sat night. Another cold front will move
SE into the northern waters Sun into Sun night, then will slow
and stall late Sun night, 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 during this time frame. 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. The high will cross the
waters Wed and Wed night as low pressure develops S and SE of
the area.
