.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure will build E
across the waters tonight 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 to the S will build E and
extend a ridge across the waters through Fri. The ridge of high
pressure will weaken across the area Fri night as a weak cold
front or low pressure trough approaches the coast. The weak front
or trough will cross the waters Sat as low pressure develops to
the SW. Late Sat night the low will lift a warm front into the
waters with a trailing cold front approaching the coast.
