A cold front will pass through the Yucatan Channel by this evening, then stall along 20N Thu and dissipate by Fri. Winds will freshen through the Windward Passage and in the lee of Cuba Fri night through the weekend. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A strong cold front extends from near 31N73W across the NW Bahamas to the Straits of Florida.

Gale force SW winds and very large seas will prevail ahead of the front N of 27N through this evening, followed by W to NW gales tonight across the far northern waters behind the front.
