SYNOPSIS
A WEAKENING STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS IN PLACE
ORIENTED SW TO NE ACROSS THE WATERS TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE JUST E
OF THE OUTER CENTRAL WATERS WILL DRIFT VERY SLOWLY N TONIGHT
THROUGH FRI NIGHT WHILE STRENGTHENING, REACHING GEORGES BANK LATE
FRI NIGHT. THE LOW WILL PULL A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE OUTER
SOUTHERN WATERS TONIGHT AND EARLY THU. STRONG COUNTERFLOW TO THE
GULF STREAM WILL CREATE LARGE, VERY STEEP, AND POSSIBLY BREAKING
WAVES RESULTING IN A PARTICULARLY HAZARDOUS SEA STATE. THE LOW
WILL MOVE JUST N OF THE AREA EARLY SAT, REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY
THROUGH SUN NIGHT, AND THEN FINALLY BEGIN TO MOVE E MON AND MON
NIGHT WHILE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SE ACROSS THE S WATERS. MARINERS
SHOULD CONTINUE MONITORING FORECASTS AS THE STRENGTHENING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY CROSSES THE REGION, AND CONSIDER AVOIDANCE
PLANS AS NEEDED. THIS WILL BE A LONG DURATION EVENT, AND HIGHLY
IMPACTFUL TO THE MARINER.
