.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Strong high pressure will
build E over the Mid-Atlantic and New England states tonight as
low pressure organizes along a strong cold front to the S of the
waters. The high pressure area will build E across most of the
region Sun into Sun night, then shift E Mon into Tue as the
organizing low pressure area to the S of the waters moves slowly
N toward the area. The low pressure area will remain S of the
area late Tue through Thu before finally move E and passing SE
of the waters Thu night. Mariners should closely monitor the
latest OPC and coastal marine forecasts over the next few days,
and vessels should begin to execute avoidance plans especially
for those transiting the waters from the southern New England
waters southward over the next several days.
