.Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 25 NM
High pressure moves to the south and east of the waters tonight ahead
of a strengthening low pressure system moving up the Eastern
Seaboard on Saturday. The low crosses the waters Saturday night,
possibly bringing northerly gales through Sunday. The low departs
to the northeast on Sunday allowing high pressure to build in north
of the waters. The high will then remain to the northeast of the
waters early next week while another low pressure stay nearly
stationary off the Mid-Atlantic coast, maintaining a brisk north to
northeast flow across the waters with gusts possibly exceeding gale
force at times through Monday.
