COASTAL WATERS FROM STONINGTON ME TO MERRIMACK RIVER MA OUT TO 25 NM

ANZ100-101800-
1050 PM EST Sat Dec 9 2023

.Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 25 NM.
High pressure slips east and southerly winds start to increase
Sunday with increasing odds for rain and fog. A front will approach
the waters and stall as a significant low pressure rides north along
it. Storm force winds or higher gusts remain possible, but how
extensive those winds are is low confidence. During the day Monday
winds shift to westerly and will remain quite gusty. Fair conditions
towards the latter half of the week will allow winds and seas to
gradually diminish.
