.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strengthening low pressure
along the New Jersey coast will track E and NE across the
northern waters today and tonight. The low will lift a warm
front N the northern portion today and tonight while a strong
cold front moves E across all the Mid-Atlantic offshore areas.
The complex low pressure system will move slowly across the New
England waters today into Sat, and then move well NE of the
region Sat night into Sun. A series of secondary cold fronts or
low pressure troughs will move E and SE over the region Thu
