.Synopsis for Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters...
A brief ridge of high pressure today will move east of the waters
tonight. This will be followed by a cold frontal passage late
Monday. An expansive high pressure gradually builds into our region
from the west for the remainder of the work week. Breezy northwest
flow continues Tue through much of the week ahead along with large
swells kicked up by a very distant Hurricane Kirk in the Atlantic.
