.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Philippe is near 20.5N 65.5W at 5 AM
EDT, and is moving northwest at 8 kt. Maximum sustained winds
are 40 kt with gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum central pressure 
is 1004 mb. Philippe will maintain intensity as it moves to near 
21.4N 65.8W this afternoon, to near 23.3N 66.0W late tonight, then
strengthen slightly as it moves to near 26.0N 66.0W Thu afternoon
with maximum sustained winds 45 kt gusts 55 kt, to near 29.0N 
65.5W late Thu night, and to north of the area near 32.0N 65.0W

Philippe is forecast to be well north of the area by late Sat as 
it transitions to an extratropical system. Otherwise, a 
dissipating cold front extends from near 31N54W to 25N68W and to 
west-central Cuba. The northern portion of the cold front will 
shift east of the area today as a trough, while the remainder of 
the front is expected to dissipate late this morning or early 
afternoon. The gradient over the western part of the area will 
support fresh northeast winds north of the Bahamas through 
tonight, then diminish afterward.
