Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A 1001 mb low pressure centered inland over east-
central Florida near 28N81W will move into the western Atlantic
late this afternoon. The low will then move NE and north of the 
area tonight. Gale force winds are forecast to develop on the 
south side of the low, near the coast of Florida, late this 
afternoon. Gales will persist south of the low through early Wed
morning, mainly north of 28N and west of 71W, before the gales 
move north of 31N. A trailing cold front will cross the region 
tonight through Wed, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms
with it. Building high pressure behind the low should lead toward
tranquil conditions Thu night through Fri night. Looking ahead, a
strong pressure gradient is likely to develop north of 29N this 
weekend in between low pressure systems tracking along 40N and the
subtropical high, which will be situated along 25N,leading to 
strong W winds and building seas north of 29N.
