Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak surface ridging over the region is
allowing for moderate or lighter winds to exist over the
forecast waters. A cold front will move off the southeastern
U.S. coast today, move across the western half of the area
through Fri night, and across the remainder of the forecast
waters through late Mon. High pressure building in behind the
front will tighten the pressure gradient across the region,
bringing  moderate to fresh winds across waters north of 20N.
Moderate seas  can also be expected with these winds. Conditions
will slightly  improve by early next week north of 27N.
