SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED ABOUT 180 NM E OF CAPE CHARLES THIS MORNING WILL TRACK
VERY SLOWLY N TODAY, THEN TURN NW TONIGHT WHILE APPROACHING
WESTERN LONG ISLAND OR NEW JERSEY. THE LOW WILL BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST SUN INTO MON WHILE
WEAKENING, THEN MOVE NE ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE GULF OF MAINE MON
NIGHT INTO TUE NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE SE OF THE AREA WILL BUILD W
THE S WATERS MON AND MON NIGHT, THEN EXPAND ACROSS THE REST OF
THE WATERS TUE THROUGH WED NIGHT. STRONG COUNTERFLOW TO THE GULF
STREAM WILL CREATE LARGE, VERY STEEP, AND POSSIBLY BREAKING WAVES
RESULTING IN A PARTICULARLY HAZARDOUS SEA STATE. MARINERS SHOULD
CONTINUE MONITORING FORECASTS AS THE INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM SLOWLY CROSSES THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND, AND CONSIDER
AVOIDANCE PLANS AS NEEDED. THIS WILL BE A LONG DURATION EVENT,
AND HIGHLY IMPACTFUL TO THE MARINER.
