Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...An E to W ridge axis along 26N will weaken through 
tonight, then reorganize NE of the Bahamas Wed. Fresh to strong
SW to W winds across the northern waters should continue through
early Wed as a frontal system sweeps eastward across the NW 
Atlantic. The western end of that front will move southeastward 
across the NE forecast waters Wed afternoon and night, and reach
along 22N late Thu. High pressure behind the front will act to 
freshen NE to E trade winds south of 24N during this period. 
Looking ahead, large NW swell and near gale-force NW winds are 
possible on Sat across the NE waters associated with another
cold front. The southern part of a cold front will brush the NE 
forecast waters Sun and Sun night. Otherwise, rather quiet 
conditions are expected Sun and Sun night as high pressure settles
in over the area.
