Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front reaches from 31N72W to West Palm Beach,

31N57W to the central Bahamas on Thu morning. It should finally
become stationary and dissipate across the western Atlantic Thu 
afternoon into evening. Fresh to strong W to NW winds and rough 
seas behind this front north of 27N will shift eastward across the
