.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A front will remain nearly
stationary off of the mid-Atlantic coast tonight through Sat

moves E Sat night and Sun as the front to the S moves N as a warm
front. The front, and its associated weak low, will move NE 
across the area Sun night through Mon. A cold front will quickly 
follow the low and move E over the waters Mon and Mon night. High
pressure then builds over the S waters for Tue and Tue night

approaches the N waters Tue night, then pushes SE across the area
