Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front enters the area at 27N65W, and 
continues to near 25N74W. Numerous showers and thunderstorms, 
with strong gusty winds are occurring NE of the Bahamas. A very 
tight pressure gradient between broad low pressure over the 
southeastern United States and strong high pressure over the 
western Atlantic is producing strong to near gale force east to 
southeast winds over the northern waters west of 70W. These wind
conditions will gradually diminish through Wed while shifting 
northeast of the area. The broad low will track northeastward 
toward the mid-Atlantic coast through Wed night. It will push a 
weak cold front across the northwest portion of the area Tue and 
Tue night, then across the north-central waters Wed and Thu 
before stalling there Thu night. Another weak cold front will 
move over the far northwest portion Fri and Sat, and over the 
north-central waters Sat night.
