.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Mariners should use caution in
and near tstms that develop over the waters today into Thu, with
the stronger tstms producing very gusty winds and very rough
seas. Otherwise, high pressure will persist SE of the area today
through Sun night. A low pressure trough will persist near the
coast today. A cold front will slowly approach the area from the
W later today and tonight, 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, and
then move SE across the area later Sat night into Sun night while
weakening.
