tonight as an area of low pressure moves E towards the Maine
coast. A strong cold front extending SW from the low will move
quickly SE across the waters near and after midnight. High
pressure will build E across the waters late Mon into Tue. The
high will shift E Tue night as weak low pressure develops and
moves NE along the Maine coast, pulling a warm front NE across
the area. Another warm front will lift N across the waters Wed
ahead of a stronger area of low pressure moving E into northern
New England. A strong cold front associated with this system will
sweep SE across the area Wed night into Thu. High pressure will
quickly move E over far S waters Thu night, followed by a
secondary cold front moving E and SE over the area Fri into Fri
night.
