.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A low pressure trough will
move SE over the waters today as an area of low pressure
intensifies E of the area today into Thu while pulling a series
of low pressure troughs or secondary reinforcing cold fronts over
the waters. A high pressure ridge will build E over the area
later tonight and Thu, then shift E of the area and become
notably weaker Thu night into Fri as another low develops well S
and SE of the area Fri night into Sat. A weak cold front will
move across the waters later Thu night into Fri. Another high
pressure area will move rapidly E over the waters later Fri into
Fri night as a strong cold front approaches from the W. The
strong cold front will approach the coast by late Sat, before
moving E and SE over the waters Sat night into Sun as low
pressure develops and moves NE along the front. The front will
pass E and SE of the waters late Sun as another low forms along
the front to the S of the region. The low will pass E of the
waters Sun night as strong arctic high pressure builds SE towards
the waters from the central areas of the country.
