Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...Major Hurricane Melissa is in the Caribbean near 

16.4N 78.2W at 11 AM EDT, and is moving west at 3 kt. Maximum 

sustained winds are 145 kt with gusts to 175 kt, and the minimum

 central pressure is 908 mb. Melissa will move to 16.9N 78.3W

this  evening, 17.8N 77.9W Tue morning, 19.1N 76.9W Tue evening,

20.8N  75.5W Wed morning, 23.0N 73.7W Wed evening, and 25.9N

71.2W Thu  morning. Melissa will change little in intensity as

it moves N of  the area to 34.3N 63.0W early Fri. A stationary

front extends from south of Bermuda to east-central Florida.

Fresh E to SE winds and moderate to rough seas will prevail west

of 72W through today as  a strong pressure gradient prevails

between the front, high  pressure to the north and Major

Hurricane Melissa in the north-  central Caribbean. A low

pressure system associated with the  stationary front will push

offshore of the southeastern U.S.  today, leading to moderate to

fresh E to SE winds east of 78W this 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. 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.
