will bring moderate to fresh westerly winds for the NE Gulf on
Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from 31N64W to eastern
Cuba. The front will remain in place before dissipating Wed
night or Thu. Expect fresh winds over waters north of 25N
through this morning, on both sides of the front. Winds and seas
will diminish tonight as high pressure builds over the area in
the wake of the front. Looking ahead, the next frontal system
will move offshore the southeastern United States Fri night.
Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are forecast north of 27N
Fri night through Sat night with this system. A broad area of

cyclone formation trough 48 hours. Interests in the Lesser
