.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A weakening stationary front
remains draped across the outer portion of the central waters E
of Cape Hatteras, with a low pressure trough extending S just
offshore Cape Fear this evening. The front likely dissipates
later tonight as the trough drifts W toward the SE coast. A cold
front approaches from the N Mon, then stalls across or just N of
the area Mon night into Wed night. The stationary front lifts
back to the N as a warm front Thu, with the associated low
pressure moving offshore New England later Thu and Thu night. The
low continues E while passing S and SE of Nova Scotia Fri and
Fri night. This low pulls a cold front across the N portions late
Thu and Thu night, and across the central portions Fri and Fri
night. Otherwise, high pressure builds across the S portions
later Mon and Mon night, persists through Thu night, and then
starts to shift more E and SE Fri and Fri night.
