.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure shifts SE of the
area this evening, while a cold front approaches from the N. The
cold front moves S across the waters later tonight and Mon. The
fronts stalls along the S portions Mon night into Wed, while a
series of weak lows move E along the boundary, and high pressure
moves E and SE across the Gulf of Maine. The front then lifts 
back N into the area as a warm front Wed night into Thu, with an 
associated low pressure moving to the New England coast. The low 
moves offshore later Thu and Thu night, pulling a cold front E 
across the area. The low continues moving E Fri and Fri night and
passes S and SE of Nova Scotia, while a low pressure trough 
lingers across the waters.
