.SYNOPSIS...Intense low pressure across Nova Scotia will track E,
passing to the E and SE of Nova Scotia tonight through Tue. A
series of low pressure troughs or secondary cold fronts will move
SE over the northern and central waters tonight into Tue night as
high pressure slowly builds E into the southern waters. The high
will slide E away from the southern waters Wed into Thu night
while maintaining a weakening ridge westward over the far
southern waters. The ridge will shift S of the waters Fri and Fri
night. The last of the cold fronts will stall over the northern
waters Wed, and then return N as a warm front Wed night into Thu
night as weak lows form along the front. The front will linger N
of the waters Fri as a stronger low approaches New England from
the W. The stronger low will pass N and NE of the region Fri
night into Sat night while pulling a cold front SE across the
waters. The front will stall near Cape Hatteras Sat night.
