SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED ABOUT 200 NM E TO NE OF CAPE HATTERAS WILL TRACK SLOWLY
TO THE N AND NW TODAY INTO SAT NIGHT WHILE APPROACHING WESTERN
LONG ISLAND OR NEW JERSEY SAT NIGHT, SLOW AND TURN TO THE SW AND
S WHILE WEAKENING SUN, AND THEN GRADUALLY TURN MORE TOWARDS THE E
SUN NIGHT WHILE PASSING OVER THE FAR N WATERS. THE WEAKENING LOW
IS FORECAST TO PASS NE OF THE WATERS MON THROUGH TUE NIGHT AND
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARDS THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC COAST.
STRONG COUNTERFLOW TO THE GULF STREAM WILL CREATE LARGE, VERY
STEEP, AND POSSIBLY BREAKING WAVES RESULTING IN A PARTICULARLY
HAZARDOUS SEA STATE. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE
LATE SUN INTO SUN NIGHT, STALL ACROSS THE AREA MON INTO TUE, THEN
DISSIPATE LATE TUE INTO TUE NIGHT. 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.
