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.
