.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is building westward across the
forecast region. This will bring gentle to moderate southerly
winds across the majority of the area through Thu morning. At
the same time, a low pressure area is forecast to develop along
a frontal boundary just off the SE US. This system is forecast
to move toward Cape  Hatteras by late Fri, with strong winds and
rough seas expected to remain north of 31N. A surface trough is
also expected to develop over the NE waters by Thu night. A weak
low may develop along the trough axis late on Fri. Expect
increasing winds of 15 to 20 kt  and building seas to 8 ft
across the N waters roughly between 60W and 70W on Fri as a
strong high pressure briefly builds across the region between
the above mentioned lows.
