SYNOPSIS
Low pressure well NE of the area nearing the Cabot Strait will continue intensifying and tracking off to the NE today. A weak low pressure trough will cross the area early today, followed by a strong cold front that will reach the coast later today, and then cross the waters tonight. Surface troughs will move SE across the area Tue into Tue night with an area of high pressure building in from the W later Tue night into Wed. The high will then slide off to the SE of the waters late Wed and Wed night as a warm front develops and lifts N over the area. The warm front lifts N of the waters early Thu, followed by another cold front moving across the waters later Thu into Thu night. Another, stronger cold front will approach the coast Fri, then pass across the area Fri night.
