New England continental shelf and slope waters from 25 nm

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 will
persist across the waters early tonight, then push E of the area
later tonight. A series of low pressure troughs or secondary cold
fronts will move across the area Tue into Tue night. A high
pressure ridge will build E over the waters Tue into Wed, then
slowly shift E of the region Wed night into Thu. Low pressure
will develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast Thu, then drift E Thu
night and Fri while passing S of the waters as another high
builds S over the region. The high will shift E of the waters Fri
night allowing the low to move N and NE into the area as a cold
front approaches from the W. The cold front will move across the
area Sat and Sat night.
