Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N72W to Palm Beach,
Florida will reach from near 31N70W to the Straits of Florida
Tue morning, from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas by Tue
afternoon, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N56W to eastern
Cuba by Wed morning. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are
expected ahead and behind the front. Gale force winds are expected
tonight and Tue, mainly for the waters north of 27N. Weak low
pressure may form along the front near 30N56W on Thu morning, with
the front reaching northern Hispaniola. High pressure in its wake
will quickly shift eastward through Fri night, allowing for fresh
to strong southerly winds to develop over the western half of the
forecast waters as low pressure tracks northeastward from the
Gulf of Mexico to over northern Florida and to N of the area Sat
and Sat night. The fresh to strong southerly winds will expand in
coverage as they shift eastward ahead of a cold front that will
trail from the low over the western waters.
