Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front currently south of 30N and W of 70W will
merge with a frontal trough that extends from 31N61W to the
eastern Dominican Republic tonight. The front will reach from near
31N58W to eastern Cuba by Sat morning, and from near 25N55W to
Hispaniola by Sun morning, then stall and weaken over the far
southeastern part late Sun through Mon night. North swell behind
the front will build seas to a peak of 12 ft over northeast
offshore waters by Sun. Strengthening high pressure in the wake of
the front will result in fresh to strong north to northeast winds
behind the front from tonight through Sun. By late Sun, fresh
winds will prevail in the wake of the weakening front and continue
through Mon. Tranquil conditions are expected Tue as high
pressure becomes centered over the NW part of the offshore waters,
with the induced gradient supporting fresh northeast to east
winds over the southern waters.
