.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A surface trough associated
with a low pressure center well to the NE of the area will track
SE over the waters this evening. High pressure will build E into
the waters through early tonight, then pass E of the area later
tonight. A cold front will approach the coast Sat, then pass E
across the waters Sat night into Sun as low pressure forms and
tracks quickly NE along the front. A broad, strengthening low
will develop along the front S of area Sun while a second center
forms near the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The northern low will
quickly push NE of the area Mon while high pressure builds in
behind it and the southern low persists. The high pressure will
extend S and slide E over the inner portion of the waters Tue

Tue night and begin to push offshore Wed and Wed night.
