Weather / Marine Zone Forecast

MARINE WEATHER:  928 AM EST Mon Dec 1 2025
 
 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front over the S waters
this morning, will stall later today as high pressure builds in
across the N and central waters. Low pressure will develop along
the stationary front just inland over Georgia and S Carolina
tonight, with the low intensifying while lifting NE from near the
Outer Banks Tue to near Georges Bank Tue night. A cold front
extending S from the low will move quickly E and SE across the
waters late Tue into Tue night. High pressure will build over the
waters Wed, persist Wed night, and then weaken early Thu. Yet
another cold front will move SE over the N and central portions
late Thu before stalling across the far S waters Thu night. High
pressure will build E over the N waters Fri into Fri night. The
front and developing low pressure will begin to move back to the
N over the S and central waters late Fri into Fri night. Mariners
should monitor the latest forecasts for the intensifying low
pressure system set to impact the region tonight into Wed, and
begin to strongly consider avoidance routing at this time.
