Weather / Marine Zone Forecast
MARINE WEATHER: 928 AM EST Wed Jan 28 2026
.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A series of weak cold fronts will
cross the waters today into Fri. A cold front will stall across
the southern portion Fri into Sat when a deeper low will develop
along the front. The low will slowly lift N through the central
waters Sat into Sun while rapidly intensifying. This system has
the potential to produce major impacts to shipping throughout the
western Atlantic. Mariners should continue to monitor the
forecast for Sat and beyond, and prepare to possibly execute
avoidance plans.
