response to a cold front that will be approaching the far NW
Gulf late tonight into early on Fri. Ahead of the front,
moderate to fresh southeast winds are over the area, except for
gentle to moderate southeast to south winds are over the eastern
Gulf. The cold front will move southeastward across the basin,
reaching from near southeastern Louisiana to South Texas by Fri

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending westward from the 
central Atlantic to central Florida will shift slowly eastward 
through Sat, ahead of a cold front that will approach from the 
northwest. Expect fresh to strong south to southwest winds ahead
of the front tonight through late Fri between the northern 
Bahamas and Bermuda. The front is expected to move off the 
northeast Florida coast Fri night, then weaken as it moves east 
reaching from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas by late Sat 
night. Winds and seas will diminish into Mon as the dissipating 
front continues to drift east of the area, and high pressure 
builds between the Carolinas and Bermuda in the wake of front.
