CENTRAL FLORIDA AND NORTH AND EAST OF THE BAHAMAS. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTHWARD. BY MIDWEEK, FRESH TO STRONG S TO SW
WINDS WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF 27N AND EAST OF 75W AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM PUSHES OFF THE COAST OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES.
ELSEWHERE, HURRICANE MELISSA IS STRENGTHENING IN THE CENTRAL
CARIBBEAN. RAPID INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST TO OCCUR OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND MELISSA IS FORECAST TO BECOME A MAJOR
HURRICANE BY SUNDAY. ON THE FORECAST TRACK, MELISSA COULD BE NEAR
