Florida to near 25N91W. The front will slowly dissipate through
this evening. Winds will be moderate or weaker with slight seas
through Thu, pulsing to moderate to fresh offshore the W Yucatan
in the evenings. Winds may freshen in the NE Gulf by the end of
the week due to building high pressure north of the area with
seas also building.

than 5 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and isolated 
thunderstorms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Nigel is near 29.6N 53.6W at 5 AM EDT, and 
is moving northwest at 11 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 75 kt 
with gusts to 90 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 979 mb. 
Nigel will continue to strengthen as it moves to near 31.2N 54.5W 
this afternoon with maximum sustained winds 85 kt gusts 105 kt, 
then to north of the forecast waters to near 33.8N 54.8W late 
tonight with maximum sustained winds 90 kt gusts 110 kt. Nigel 
will then begin to accelerate northeastward and well away from the
area through the rest of the week while weakening. A weak
stationary front extending from near 31N72W to South Florida will
change little through Thu. The boundary should begin to slowly 
lift northward on Fri as low pressure develops along it to the 
east of northern Florida. Winds and seas will likely increase in 
that area by the end of the week as a tight pressure gradient 
develops between the developing low pressure off the Carolinas and
high pressure inland over the U.S.

and isolated thunderstorms.
