SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED ABOUT 240 NM NE OF CAPE HATTERAS WILL TRACK SLOWLY TO
THE N AND NW TONIGHT INTO SAT NIGHT WHILE APPROACHING WESTERN
LONG ISLAND OR NEW JERSEY SAT NIGHT, THEN SLOW AND TURN TO THE
SW AND S WHILE WEAKENING SUN. THE LOW THEN DRIFTS VERY SLOWLY NE
ALONG THE COAST SUN NIGHT THROUGH MON NIGHT, EMERGING INTO THE
GULF OF MAINE WELL N OF THE AREA TUE AND TUE NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARDS THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC COAST. THE HIGH
PRESSURE EXPANDS ACROSS MOST OF THE WATERS WED AND 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.
