.SYNOPSIS...Weak low pressure SE of Georges Bank will move NE of

becoming stationary tonight. Locally heavy thunderstorms are
possible near the low and along and S of the front over the

gusty winds and rough seas, and mariners should use caution.
Otherwise, the front will lift back N of the area as a warm front
Sat and Sat night. A strong cold front will slowly approach the
coast from the W Sun into Sun night, then move E across the
waters later Sun night into Mon night, as a series of low
pressure areas form along the front. A stronger low pressure area
will develop along the front E of the waters by Tue, then drift S
or SW while remaining E and then SE of the area into Wed night.
Behind the cold front, high pressure will slowly build E off the
coast Tue and Tue night, then persist into Wed night.
