446 PM EDT Sun Oct 18 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure remains over 
the waters tonight as strengthening low pressure meanders off of 
the SE U.S. coast. The high moves E tonight and Mon as the broad 
low slowly moves N toward the mid-Atlantic. Then, for Mon night 
through Wed night, the waters will be between the strong low 
stalling then offshore of the mid-Atlantic coast, and high 
pressure over the Great Lakes and SE Canada. A cold front 
approaches the area from the NW Thu, moving into the waters Thu 
night and through the area Fri. High pressure should build in 
from the NW Fri night. Mariners should monitor the latest high 
seas, offshore, coastal, and tropical forecasts on the low 
pressure system, executing avoidance as needed for any voyages 
planned especially to the south of the area.
