.Synopsis for Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters...
High pressure provides dry weather and southwest winds through
Friday.  Then very late Fri into Fri night, an approaching cold
front will be accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms,
possibly accompanied by strong winds, downpours and frequent
lightning, especially near shore. Saturday morning a few showers may
linger, before the cold front exits offshore Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, a tropical low will likely track southeast of the 40N/70W
benchmark Saturday, then across eastern Georges Bank Sat night and
finally out to sea. High pressure builds over New England Sunday,
then offshore Monday. This will yield a prolong period of SSW flow
next week along with a very warm airmass.
