.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A cold front over the waters
continues to move S across the area tonight, stalling off Long
Island Tue, with high pressure building S into the area behind
this front. The high shifts NE later Tue, allowing the stalled
front to lift back N across the area as a warm front Tue night.
Associated low pressure then develops along coastal Maine late
Tue night, strengthening NE into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence Wed
and Wed night, and while pulling a cold front S across the
waters. High pressure builds SE into the area Thu and Thu night,
shifting quickly E by early Fri. Another warm front lifts NE
across the waters Fri, followed by a strong cold front pushing E
across the area Fri night, as the associated low pressure rapidly
intensifies and broadens NE into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. A
series of low pressure troughs move across the waters Sat and Sat
night while high pressure builds E toward the area. Mariners
should monitor forecasts throughout the week, with the potential
for widespread hazardous conditions possible late Fri into the
weekend.
