.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...A cold front will move E and
SE across the waters today as intense low pressure tracks NE
while passing to the SE and then E of the waters. The next
intensifying low will move NE towards the region today from the
Carolina coast, with the low continuing to strengthen while
crossing the area tonight, before moving NE of the region Mon
and Mon night while pulling a series of low pressure troughs or
cold fronts across the waters. A strong high pressure ridge will
build E toward the region Mon and Mon night, move offshore Tue,
and then drift N Tue night and Wed. Another low will develop and
pass S of the waters Tue night, then strengthen to the SE and E
of the waters Wed before moving well off to the E of the area
