SYNOPSIS FOR THE SW N ATLC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS

.SYNOPSIS...An east to west ridge along 27N will shift gradually
north to along 29N on Sat night, then retract east allowing a 
weak cold front to move off the southeast United States on Sun. 
The front will quickly stall and dissipate across the northwest 
waters on Mon. Gentle to moderate winds will prevail north of
the ridge with moderate to fresh winds expected generally south 
of 25N, except becoming strong along the north coast of 
Hispaniola and the north approach to the Windward Passage each 
evening.
