.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure will move E away
from the waters tonight. A warm front will lift N into the 
waters this evening, followed by a cold front moving SE over the
area late tonight into early Sat. The cold front will stall S of
the area during Sat, then lift back N through the waters as a 
warm front Sat night. A stronger cold front will move offshore 
Sun while a strengthening low develops near the coast and moves 
into the Gulf of Maine early Sun. The cold front will move E of 
the area Sun night into Mon while the rapidly developing low 
moves off to the NE of the area. High pressure will build to the 
SW and S of the waters Mon night, and pass to the SE of the area 
Tue and Tue night as a low pressure trough crosses the region. A 
warm front will develop and lift N into the area Tue night as 
another strong low pressure system moves E and NE from the Great 
Lakes. The low will pass N of the waters Wed into Wed night with
a trailing strong cold front approaching from the W and NW late
Wed into Wed night.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A warm front will lift N from the
N waters this evening as high pressure slides off to the E of 
the region. A cold front will move offshore late tonight over the
far N waters, then stall across the northern waters early Sat

strong cold front will push E and SE across the waters late Sat
night, Sun into early Sun night, and pass E of the area by later
Sun night. High pressure will build E over the waters Mon into 
Tue. The high will shift E of the area late Tue and Tue night as 
a warm front develops and lifts N over the N waters, and a low 
pressure trough forms near the coast. A strong cold front will
approach from the W and NW Wed into Wed night, with low pressure
potentially developing off the Carolina coast Wed night just
ahead of the front.
