SYNOPSIS FOR THE SW N ATLC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front meanders W to E along 25N to 26N 
from Andros Island into the open Atlc and will dissipate late 
Thu. Fresh southerly flow will increase late Thu off NE Florida 
ahead of another cold front moving off the coast Thu night. The 
front will reach from Bermuda to the Straits of Florida by late 
Fri, just ahead of a reinforcing front with strong to possibly 
gale force winds north of 24N related to deep low pressure
moving off the Virginia coast. The fronts will merge Sat and 
reach from 22N65W to the Windward Passage by Sun. A significant 
swell event and likely the largest of this winter season will 
accompany this system, affecting all waters E of Florida and the 
Bahamas by the end of the week.
