.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in 
association with a trough of low pressure that extends from near 
Hispaniola northeastward over the southwestern Atlantic. 
Development, if any, of this system should be slow to occur during
the next couple of days while it moves westward to west-
northwestward near the Greater Antilles, Turks and Caicos Islands,
the southeastern Bahamas, and eastern Cuba. There is a low chance
of tropical formation within the next 48 hours and the next 7 
days. A strong cold front will move southward into the northern 
forecast waters on Sat, reaching 23N Sun morning, then will stall 
and begin to weaken along 20N Mon. Expect widespread fresh to 
strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough seas in N swell north
behind the front through this weekend before diminishing early 
next week.
