.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the waters will shift E tonight
as weak low pressure develops and moves NE along the Maine coast,
pulling a weak 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 Wed night. A strong
cold front associated with this system will sweep E and SE over
the area Wed night into Thu, followed by a secondary cold front
or low pressure trough Thu into Fri. High pressure to the S will
build E and extend a ridge across the waters Fri into Sat.
Another trough or weak cold front will cross the area Sat as the
ridge shifts E and weakens. Sat night, developing low pressure
with a warm front extending E from the low will move into the
area from the SW. A cold front will approach the coast from the W
late Sat night. The low and associated front will cross the
waters Sun. The cold front will largely stay S and SE of the area
through Sun night as the low moves NE. High pressure will build
across the waters Sun night behind the cold front.
