Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 19.5N55W to near the
Anegada Passage continues as stationary to just N of Puerto Rico
and along the northern coast of Hispaniola and NE Cuba. Large to
very large N swell will continue sweeping across our waters
before subsiding into early Sat while the front dissipates.
Meanwhile, a new cold front just offshore SE Georgia and far NE
Florida will quickly move eastward across our waters. The front
will extend from 31N74W to Cape Canaveral, Florida after sunrise
with fresh to strong winds, increasing to gale force north of
29N on either side of the front this evening. By Sat morning,
the front will extend from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas.
By Sun morning, the front will reach from 30N55W to near Puerto
Rico, but with only fresh winds N of 29N by then. Very rough seas
will follow this second front through the weekend, reaching very
high near 29N65W Sat evening, decaying early next week. High
pressure will build across the waters early next week. A
reinforcing front or trough may clip the NE waters Tue and Tue
night with increasing winds and building seas.
