Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the SW N Atlantic waters will 
promote moderate or weaker winds north of 27N through early Wed,

strengthens on Wed and Thu, it will force fresh to strong 
tradewinds south of 25N including the Windward Passage. Fresh to 
strong SW winds ahead of a cold front are anticipated to occur 
north of the Bahamas on Wed and Thu. After emerging from the SE 
United States coast Thu night, the cold front should extend from
