ANZ899-180815- 506 PM EDT Thu Oct 17 2019 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Strong low pressure near Portland, Maine will move NE near the Maine coast and across the Bay of Fundy tonight. The low will continue NE over the Canadian Maritimes Fri and Fri night. Behind the low, high pressure will start to build over the far southern waters tonight, with high pressure gradually building over the rest of the waters Fri through Fri night. High pressure continues Sat, with low pressure, potentially a post-tropical cyclone, approaching from the SW Sat night and early Sun. The low is expected to exit the coast near Cape Hatteras Sun, slowly track NE over the waters late Sun into Tue while gradually weakening, and then become absorbed by a front later Tue. Gale force winds associated with the low are expected to impact many of the offshore zones late Sat into early next week. A cold front will slowly approach from the W Tue and Tue night. $$ ANZ820-180815- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 506 PM EDT Thu Oct 17 2019 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...W winds 30 to 40 kt, becoming NW 25 to 30 kt.
