.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A high pressure ridge over
the region this morning will shift E of the area later today. A
warm front will lift N across the waters later today and tonight
as weak low pressure tracks E and NE over the Gulf of Maine while
pulling a cold front over the region. Another cold front will
move across the area Mon, then pass SE of the waters Mon night.
The front will stall S of the area Tue into Tue night as low
pressure forms along the boundary, then slowly weaken Wed into
Thu night. Strong high pressure will build slowly SE over the
region Mon night into Wed night, then slowly shift E of the area
Thu and Thu night as yet another cold front approaches from the
NW.
