.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A cold front will pass S of
the waters this evening, and then stall S of the area by late
tonight. Weak high pressure will build E over the area tonight,
then slide off to the E of the waters early Sun as the front to
the S of the area returns N as a warm front. Developing low
pressure will approach from the W and SW during the day Sun as
the front lifts N into the waters. The low will strengthen and
move E and NE along 40N or so Sun night into early Mon, with the
low passing E and NE of the waters late Mon into Mon night. The
low will push a cold front across the waters Sun night into Mon.
High pressure will build E toward the coast Mon night into early
Tue. The high will move E over the S waters late Tue and Tue
night as a low pressure trough crosses the Gulf of Maine. The
high will pass E and SE of the area Wed as the next cold front
approaches from the W. This front will cross the area Wed night
into Thu, moving S of the area during the day Thu as weak high
pressure builds over the waters. The front will then quickly
return N as a warm front Thu night as developing low pressure
moves E over New England.
