Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge between the Bahamas and
Bermuda will help maintain fresh to strong trades north of
Hispaniola and gentle to moderate winds elsewhere through Sat
night. The W end of a weak cold front moving southeastward
across the NE forecast waters will reach from near 26N55W to 
25N65W this morning and then dissipate by Fri morning. A
stronger cold front will move across the northern forecast
waters Fri night, extend from near 28N55W to 27N65W to 31N78W Sat
morning, then weaken as it reaches from near 23N55W to 24N65W Sun
morning, and dissipate Sun night. Strong NW winds are likely on 
Sat across the NE waters behind the front, with large N swell 
propagating southward E of 65W though Mon night. Looking ahead, 
another cold front may arrive over the NE waters on Sun, causing 
strong breeze conditions on both sides of the front north of 27N 
through Mon night. NW swell producing large seas is expected 
behind this front.
