Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N53W to the SE Bahamas,
then curves as a stationary front to near West Palm Beach, FL.
The front will weaken on Wed as high pressure builds in east of 
Florida. Fresh NE to E winds are N of the stationary portion. 
Large long-period N to NE swell will continue to affect much of 
the area for the next couple of days. Fresh to strong southerly 
winds will develop offshore NE Florida beginning 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 
31N75W to West Palm Beach, Florida early Fri, and from near 31N65W
to the Florida Keys early Sat. A pre-frontal line of scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms, some potentially strong, is 
likely to move offshore the Florida coast early on Thu. On Sun, a
reinforcing cold front is expected to merge with it. The merged 
front is expected to reach from near 31N62W to the southeastern 
Bahamas and eastern Cuba Sun night.
