Looking ahead, fresh to strong southerly winds are expected to develop offshore NE Florida beginning late Wed night as a strong cold front approaches the southeastern U.S. coast. The front is forecast to move off the coast late Thu, reach from near 31N77W to South Florida early Fri, and from 31N71W to the central Bahamas and to central Cuba by late Fri night. The fresh to strong southerly winds will shift eastward across the northern and central waters, while fresh to strong west to northwest winds follow in behind the front.
