.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure centered about
30 nm E of Nags Head will rapidly intensify while tracking NE
across the S and SE portions today and tonight, clearing well NE
of the area and into the N Atlantic by early Mon. A weak low
pressure trough will cross the area early Mon, followed by a
strong cold front that will reach the coast late Mon, and then
cross the waters Mon night. Surface troughs will move SE across
the area Tue into Tue night with an area of high pressure
building in from the W later Tue night into Wed. The high will
then slide off to the SE of the waters late Wed and Wed night as
a warm front develops and lifts N over the area. The warm front
lifts N of the waters early Thu, followed by another cold front
moving across the waters later Thu into Thu night.
