.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A weakening ridge across the
waters this evening will shift E on Mon as Tropical Storm Ernesto
passes well E of the waters while restrengthening into a
hurricane. Long period E swell from Ernesto will continue across
the waters through Mon night. See the latest National Hurricane
Center advisory on Ernesto for more information. A cold front
will reach the coast Mon, and move offshore Mon night into Tue,
with a weak area of low pressure developing along the front in
the Gulf of Maine. The front will move E of the waters Tue night
as the low lifts NE into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. A series of
weak troughs will pass E across the northern waters late Wed
through Fri night while high pressure slowly builds E across the
S waters.
