Weather / Marine Zone Forecast

MARINE WEATHER :  1109 AM EDT Wed Oct 9 2024
 
 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front will persist
across the southern waters today before dissipating tonight into
Thu. A weak trough will move quickly E across the northern
waters this morning, followed by a weak cold front this evening.
Hurricane Milton will move E into the Atlantic from central
Florida Thu through Fri night. The center of the storm is
expected to remain S of the waters, but tropical storm
conditions are expected in the far S portions as the storm
transitions into a post-tropical cyclone by Fri afternoon. Long
period swell from Milton will build N into the central and
northern waters Fri afternoon and persist through Sat. All
marine interests should closely monitor the latest forecasts on
Hurricane Milton from the National Hurricane Center.
High pressure over the Appalachians will extend a ridge E across
the central waters Fri through Sat. A cold front will move SE
across the northern waters Sat, then stall Sat night before
returning N as a warm front on Sun. Another cold front will
approach the coast late Sun night.
