to take hold of the forecast waters.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N47W to 28N61W where it
becomes stationary to 27N66W and to 25N73W. The front will begin
to weaken as it shifts E of 55W this evening across the central 
subtropical Atlantic waters. Fresh to strong southerly winds will 
develop over the NE Florida offshore waters this afternoon ahead 
of the next cold front that is forecast to move into the NW 
forecast waters this afternoon. This front will reach from near 
31N77W to Vero Beach, Florida tonight, from near 31N75W to South 
Florida early Thu, from near 31N63W to 26N70W and to eastern Cuba 
early Fri, from near 29N55W to the Windward Passage Fri night, 
then begin to weaken as it reaches from near 26N55W to 22N64W to 
the Windward Passage Sat night. Fresh to strong winds are expected
ahead and behind this front north of about 27N through Fri. 
Strong high pressure will build Sat and Sat night in the wake of 
the front. The resultant tight gradient will bring fresh to strong
northeast winds to the Straits of Florida and the Great Bahama 
Bank primarily south of 25N Fri night into Sat night. Conditions 
diminish Sun and Sun night as an expected dry cold front moves 
across the NW part of the area.
