.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A cold front moving S through
the Gulf of Maine this morning will briefly stall today, then
lift back N as a warm front this evening as an area of low
pressure moved E towards the Maine coast. A stronger cold front
extending SW from the low will move quickly SE across the waters
tonight. High pressure will build E across the waters late Mon
into Tue. The high will shift E Tue night as weak low pressure
develops and moves NE along the Maine coast, pushing a warm front
NE across the area. Another warm front will lift N across the
waters Wed ahead of a stronger area of low pressure moving E into
northern New England. A strong cold front associated with that
system will sweep SE across the area Wed night into Thu. High
pressure will approach the coast Thu night.
