Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N72W to South Florida
will reach from near 31N70W to the Straits of Florida this
morning, from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas early this
afternoon, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N56W to eastern
Cuba by Wed morning. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are
ahead and behind the front, with gale force winds over the 
waters north of 27N. The gale force winds behind the front end
this morning while those east of the front end late this
afternoon. 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 north of the area Sat and Sat night. 
These winds will expand in coverage as they shift eastward ahead 
of a cold front that will trail from the low over the western 
waters.
