.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure along the Maine
coast will track E across the Gulf of Maine and just S of Nova
Scotia today and tonight. An associated cold front will cross
the area this afternoon, before a secondary cold front or low
pressure trough passes through the area tonight into Mon. A weak
high pressure ridge will cross the region late Mon and Mon night
as low pressure forms and strengthens to the S of the waters and
tracks E passing to the S and SE of the waters. Weak high
pressure will develop across the waters Tue into Tue night and
persist over the area Wed. The high will shift E of the waters
Wed night as a cold front moves SE over the inner waters later
Wed night. The front will move quickly E and SE across the rest
of the area early Thu before high pressure again builds E over
the waters later Thu and Thu night.
