Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A small area of low pressure located about 250 miles
 east of the northernmost Bahamas is producing disorganized

moves west- northwestward and approaches the northeastern coast
of Florida or the Georgia  coast early on Friday. Regardless of
development, fresh to strong  NE to E winds and rough seas will
prevail across the waters N of  26N through tonight. High pres
will build in the wake of the low, supporting gentle to moderate
winds through early next week.
