SYNOPSIS
A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR 31N48W TO NORTH
OF HISPANIOLA. MAINLY MODERATE NW WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS FOLLOW
THE FRONT, AND MODERATE TO FRESH SW WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ARE
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP
JUST NW OF OUR AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL SEND AN UNUSUALLY STRONG
AND POWERFUL ARCTIC COLD FRONT OFF THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST
SAT MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO
DEEPEN RAPIDLY ACROSS THE NW ATLANTIC SAT THROUGH SUN, BECOMING
QUITE POWERFUL AND INDUCING A VERY LARGE AREA OF WESTERLY
STRONG GALE-FORCE WINDS COVERING THE LOCAL WATERS N OF ABOUT 24N
AND WEST OF 60W SAT THROUGH SUN EVENING, BEFORE LIFTING N OF
THE AREA SUN NIGHT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH FROM NEAR
31N72W TO EASTERN CUBA SAT EVENING, FROM 31N58W TO EASTERN
HISPANIOLA SUN EVENING, THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND STALL FROM BEAR
26N55W TO EASTERN PUERTO RICO MON EVENING. IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT, LARGE LONG-PERIOD NW SWELL WILL IMPACT THE WATERS N AND E
OF THE BAHAMAS FROM LATE SAT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MARINERS
SHOULD MONITOR THE FORECASTS FOR SAT AND BEYOND, AND PREPARE TO
