.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A strengthening complex low
pressure system near Delaware Bay and the Delmarva peninsula
will move NE along the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England
coasts this evening while a warm front across the Gulf of Maine
lifts N. A cold front will follow, crossing the waters from W to
E tonight. The strong low will cross the Canadian Maritimes
early Sun, as another low forms and also strengthens along the
front to the S of the waters. This new low will remain S of the

then will only slowly weaken Mon night into Tue night as it
moves off to the SE passing just W then S of Bermuda. A

followed by a cold front moving slowly E and SE across the area
Wed night through Thu night as yet another low develops well to
the SW of the waters and strengthens.
