Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will exit the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast this afternoon and move eastward through late Mon. As a result, expect moderate to locally fresh SW winds with moderate seas north of 28N to shift eastward from off the northeastern Florida coast across the western Atlantic through Tue. Meanwhile, a broad sub-tropical ridge extending southwestward from the central Atlantic to southern Florida will support gentle winds south of 28N. 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. Farther south, moderate to fresh NE to E winds will pulse north of Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage each night into next week.
