.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will exit the U.S. Mid-Atlantic
coast this afternoon and move eastward through late Mon. As a

broad sub-tropical ridge extending southwestward from the central
Atlantic to southern Florida will support gentle winds across the
Bahamas. In the long term, fresh to locally strong southwesterly
winds and building seas are expected east of northeastern Florida
and northeast of the Bahamas near midweek next week, in response
to another cold front moving off the southeastern U.S.
