Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from south of Bermuda to

east-central Florida. Fresh to occasionally strong E winds and

rough seas will prevail west of 70W through late tonight as a

strong pressure gradient prevails between the front, high

pressure to the north and Major Hurricane Melissa in the central

Caribbean. A low pressure system associated with the stationary

front will push offshore of the southeastern U.S. on Mon,

leading to moderate to fresh E to SE winds east of 78W Mon

afternoon through Tue, and fresh to strong N to NW winds behind

the system offshore of northern Florida Tue through midweek.

Rough seas will build over this region by early Tue, with seas

expanding farther south and east Tue and Wed. Elsewhere, Major

Hurricane Melissa is strengthening in the central Caribbean. On 

the forecast track, the core of Melissa is expected to move near 

or over Jamaica on Tuesday, across southeastern Cuba Tuesday 

night, and across the southeastern Bahamas on Wednesday. 

Elsewhere, a strong cold front will push offshore of the 

southeastern U.S. by late week, supporting increasing winds and 

building seas over the western Atlantic.
