.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Intensifying low pressure 
near Georges Bank will track NE across Nova Scotia early today. 
The low will pull a series of low pressure troughs or cold 
fronts across the waters today into tonight. A strong high 
pressure ridge will build E toward the region later tonight, 
move offshore Tue, and then weaken and retreat inland Tue night.
Another low will develop and pass S of the waters Tue night, 
strengthen to the SE and E of the waters Wed, and then move well 
E of the area Wed night and Thu. High pressure will slowly build 
E over the region later Wed and Wed night, and then weaken while 
shifting E of the area Thu into Thu night. Yet another low will 
develop S of the waters Thu and Thu night while tracking NE 
towards the area. The low will pass just SE of the waters Fri, 
and move off to the E of the area Fri night as a high pressure 
ridge builds E towards the coast.
