122 FZUS51 KGYX 212102 CWFGYX Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service Gray ME 502 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 COASTAL WATERS FROM STONINGTON ME TO MERRIMACK RIVER MA OUT TO 60 NM ANZ100-221000- 502 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 60 NM... Northeast winds will prevail over the waters through much of this week with high pressure centered south of Hudson Bay slowly sliding east. The gradient associated with the high pressure will occasionally strengthen tonight and again Tuesday night leading to freshening NE winds. An area of low pressure may start to take shape off the East Coast mid week and could become a strong slow moving system as it drifts northward into the weekend. The track continues to have large variability while confidence is high that strengthening NE winds and building seas will impact the waters through the end of the week. $$ ANZ151-221000- Penobscot Bay- 502 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026 .TONIGHT...N winds 5 to 10 kt.
