are expected nightly, through the forecast period, across the

thermal trough. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and slight

to moderate seas will prevail through early next week.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from 31N68W to the central

Bahamas and central Cuba. Fresh to strong winds and rough are 

observed of either side of the front N of 27N. A weak low pressure

is forecast to develop along the frontal boundary on Fri. This 

will continue to support fresh to strong winds and rough ahead and

behind the front across the offshore waters N of 25N through the

front is expected to reach from 31N60W to the Windward Passage by

Looking ahead, a new cold front is forecast to enter the NE
