.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure will move E and
NE over the area early today while first lifting a warm front N
into the waters, and then pulling a trailing cold front over the
area. The front will pass just E and S of the region later
today. A series of low pressure troughs or secondary cold fronts
will move across the area tonight 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.
