New England continental shelf and slope waters from 25 nm
offshore to the Hague Line, except to 1000 fm south of New
England.

Conditions given represent the highest within that period.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A stationary front across the
northern Gulf of Maine will lift N as a warm front tonight. High
pressure moving E over the waters tonight will shift E of the
area Tue, and extend a ridge W over the area through Tue night.
Intensifying low pressure will pass SE of Georges Bank Tue night
into Wed. Another low pressure and associated cold front will
approach the area early Wed, then cross the region Wed, then
move E and SE of the waters Wed night. A stronger high pressure
will again build slowly E across the waters Thu and Thu night,
and then prevail across the area Fri through Sat, then move S
and SE of the region Sat night.
