Weather / Marine Zone Forecast
MARINE FORECAST: 1034 AM EDT Mon Apr 7 2025
.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A series of weak low pressure
centers will track NE along a stationary front extending NE from
the Virginia Capes through the outer Mid-Atlantic Waters today
and tonight. A stronger low will pass E and NE of the NE portion
of the outer waters later tonight into Tue. The front will
finally move E of the waters Tue afternoon. 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 weak low pressure develops S and SE
of the area. The high will gradually shift NE Thu, maintaining a
ridge across the waters Thu night. Low pressure will organize
over the SE and Mid- Atlantic states Fri into Fri night with the
associated warm front lifting NE over the waters and the
associated cold front reaching the coast Fri, and then moving
slowly offshore Fri night.
