.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure over western 
Georges Bank will continue lifting N tonight, while pulling a 
warm front N across the remainder of the waters, and a cold front
E across the area. Another low over the Mid-Atlantic waters will
move N tonight into Sun while pulling another warm front into the
area, with the warm front stalling along the New England coast 
late tonight and Sun, before lifting further inland by Sun night.
Another cold front approaches from the W late Sun, moves slowly 
offshore Sun night into Mon, then pushes E of the waters by Mon 
night. A low pressure trough lingers over the area Tue into Wed, 
before moving E of the area Wed night. High pressure builds in 
from the W Wed night into Thu, shifting E later Thu and Thu night
ahead of the next frontal boundaries approaching from the SW.
