.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front across the N
waters will remain over the area tonight as a high pressure 
ridge continues shifting E of the region. Developing low pressure just
off the SE coast will move NE across the waters tonight through 
Fri while pulling a cold front E across the area, then move NE of
the region Fri night into Sat night while pulling a series of 
low pressure troughs over the N portion. High pressure will build
over the far S portion Fri into Fri night, then shift S and SE 
of the area Sat night into Sun. Another low will track E across 
the N portion Sat night and Sun while pulling a cold front over 
the area. The front will stall across the central waters Sun, 
then slowly drift N and NE as a warm front Mon and Mon night as 
high pressure shifts N towards the S waters. The warm front will
continue lifting across the region as another low pressure and
associated cold front approach the coast into Tue night.
