diminishing winds and seas through Sun. Atlantic high pressure
will build in again over the area early next week. Pulsing fresh
to locally strong winds off the Yucatan Peninsula will change
little into early next week.

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 25N55W to near 23.5N75W
and  will move slowly southeastward this evening, and reach
along  22N-23N tonight before it weakens and dissipates Sat.
Strong high pressure building in the wake of the front is
producing fresh to strong NE to E winds north of the front and
east of the NW  Bahamas, and will begin to diminish W of 65W
late tonight. Fresh  to strong southwest winds will develop over
the waters offshore  northeastern Florida tonight in advance of
the next cold front  that will move off the coast of the
southeastern U.S. Sat  night. This cold front will move
southeast, become stationary  from near 31N60W to the NW Bahamas
by Mon night, then weaken  through Tue night. The fresh to
strong southwest winds ahead of  the front will shift eastward
across the waters north of about  29N through Sun before
shifting north of the 31N Sun night.
