ANZ899-050215- 1011 AM EST Wed Feb 4 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A front develops off of the mid- Atlantic coast early today and low pressure develops along it late today. As high pressure builds E over the N waters, a cold front associated with the low moves slowly S over the S waters through Thu with another low developing along the front off of the SE U.S. coast. The low moves well off into the North Atlantic by Fri. Weak high pressure will build over the entire area late Fri, then a strong cold front approaches from the NW Fri night. The front moves into the waters by Sat as low pressure develops along the front off of the mid- Atlantic coast Fri night, broadening and intensifying well offshore Sat and Sat night. Another cold front will move offshore Fri night with explosive low development along the Gulf Stream Sat into Sat night. The low will rapidly deepen as it moves E of the area Sat night. High pressure will build over the waters Sun and Sun night.
