will move into the Gulf early next week, followed by strong
winds and rough seas.

.SYNOPSIS...A mostly stationary front extending from 25N55W to
northeast Hispaniola will move little today, ahead of a
reinforcing front from 31N55W to central Cuba. Winds to gale force
are both ahead and behind the reinforcing front N of 28N, with
rough to very rough seas. These winds and seas will move southeast
of Bermuda today. The fronts will merge late today and shift east
of the area by early Sat. Farther west, expect SW gales and rough
seas off northwest Florida late tonight into early Sat, ahead of
another cold front that will move off the coast Sat. This front
will shift across the forecast waters and exit east of the area
through Mon. As with the earlier front, gale force winds and rough
