.DISCUSSION...A cold front along a Bermuda to 350 nm east of Andros
Island to Jamaica line will continue to move eastward and weaken
through the forecast period. High pressure ridging in the wake of
the front is building over the southeastern U.S. and northern Bahamas.
Fresh to strong northerly winds and building wave heights follow the
front. These fresh to strong winds will gradually weaken through the
rest of the weekend while the wave heights subside. Wave heights
may occasionally be higher as a northeast swell spreads through
passages and channels.

Satellite imagery shows some modest breaks in the cloud canopy over
the northern Bahamas, but there are still patches of MVFR ceilings
lingering in the vicinity of the spot forecast area. Weaker wind
speeds are reflected in todays`s forecast than were in yesterday`s
outlook for today, albeit still remaining rather brisk. Similar
weather conditions are expected tomorrow, with slightly weaker
northeast to east winds.

The following is the latest aviation forecast issued by the Aviation
Weather Center for USCG operations near Inagua Island.
