.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 Thu night into Fri. The ridge
of high pressure will weaken across the area by 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. During Sat night the low will lift a warm
front N toward the waters with a trailing cold front approaching
the coast from the W.
