.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A warm front will lift N
through the waters tonight into early Wed as low pressure tracks
NE along the front. The low will pull a cold front S through the
area Wed into Wed night, before a secondary cold front moves over
the waters Wed night into Thu. High pressure will build SE over
the region Thu and Thu night, before another warm front lifts N
over the waters Fri. A strong cold front will quickly move E
across the area Fri night into Sat, before a series of low
pressure troughs or secondary cold fronts move SE over the waters
Sat into Sun. Mariners should monitor subsequent forecasts for
potentially widespread hazardous conditions late Fri into Sun.
Another high will build E across the region Sun and Sun night.
