ANZ898-101445- 933 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...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. $$ ANZ800-101445- Gulf of Maine to the Hague Line- 933 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...SW winds 20 to 30 kt.
