FZNT24 KWNM 072048 OFFN02 NAVTEX Marine Forecast for Mid-Atlantic states waters NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC 448 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 Conditions given represent the highest within that period. Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms. ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed coastal waters forecasts... .SYNOPSIS...High pressure continues over the area this evening, then gradually shifts E tonight as a cold front approaches from the W. The cold front moves E across the N and central waters Wed and Wed night, eventually stalling over or near the far S waters Thu. Behind the front, another high builds S, resulting in counterflow to the Gulf Stream and the potential for steeper, breaking waves. High pressure then continues over most of the area into Fri night, and then over the N waters Sat and Sat night. To the S, low pressure forms along the stalled cold front on Fri. The low and its associated warm front should slowly move N offshore of the SE U.S. coast Fri night through Sat night, before stalling off the Delmarva or New Jersey coast Sun into Sun night. The USCG broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina is still experiencing technical difficulties. Technicians are aware of the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience.
