.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A warm front over Georges Bank
this morning will lift N of the waters early today as low
pressure tracks NE along the coast. The low will pull a cold 
front S through the area today into tonight, before a secondary 
cold front moves over the waters tonight 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.
