.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...High pressure will prevail just E

associated weak cold front appoaches the N waters from the W. The

low will begin to strengthen and slide E over the N waters later

tonight into Tue, with a trailing cold front reaching the central

waters by later Tue as the low moves off to the E of the N

waters. The front will stall over the central waters Tue night,

and return N as a warm front Wed as another low moves E over

southern New England. Weak low pressure will slide E and pass

just N of the region Wed night. A stronger low will move E and

move from Ohio into Pennsylvania Thu, with a warm front extending

E near 40N. The low will track NE and pass N of the waters Thu

night into Fri while pulling a strong cold front SE over the

region. The cold front will clear E of the waters Fri night as a

high pressure ridge develops over the eastern United States.
