1042 PM EDT Tue Oct 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A warm front will lift N 
through the waters tonight into early Wed as low pressure tracks
NE along the front. The low will pull a cold front S through the
area Wed into Wed night, before a secondary cold front moves 
over the waters Wed night into Thu. High pressure will build SE 
over the region Thu and Thu night, before another warm front 
lifts N over the waters Fri. A strong cold front will quickly
move E across the area Fri night into Sat, before a series of 
low pressure troughs or secondary cold fronts move SE over the 
waters Sat into Sun. Mariners should monitor subsequent forecasts 
for potentially widespread hazardous conditions late Fri into
Sun. Another high will build E across the region Sun and Sun
night.
