.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Mariners should use caution in
and near tstms that develop over the waters tonight, and again
Wed into Thu, with the stronger tstms producing very gusty winds
and very rough seas. Otherwise, high pressure will persist SE of
the area tonight through Sun night. A low pressure trough will
stall and remain near the coast tonight into Wed. A cold front
will slowly approach the area from the W later Wed and Wed night,
move slowly SE over the waters Thu into early Fri, then pass S of
the region by later Fri and Fri night as high pressure builds E
over New England. Another cold front will approach the area from
the NW Sat into Sat night, then move across the waters Sun into
Sun night.
