Weather / Marine Zone Forecast
MARINE WEATHER - 927 AM EST Wed Feb 14 2024
.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Powerful low pressure located
about 300 nm E of Nova Scotia will continue to move NE away from
the waters and pass well out into the N Atlantic today through
Thu. High pressure will build over the S waters, the N and
central waters will be in a stronger NW flow between the powerful
low over the N Atlantic, and high pressure to the S and inland
today into Thu. The high will finally push farther offshore
during Thu. Another low pressure system will move E while passing
just to the N then NE of the area later Thu night and Fri, with
a trailing cold front pushing E over much of the waters Thu night
and Fri, then weakening and becoming nearly stationary over the
far S waters Fri night. Yet another low pressure system will
likely impact the waters Sat and Sat night, moving NE from off of
the Carolina coast. A trailing cold front will move E across the
area later Sat and Sat night. The front will stall just S and E
of the waters Sun into Sun night as weak high pressure builds
over the northern waters.
