.SYNOPSIS...

Weak high pressure will ridge across the northern Gulf of Mexico
and provide mainly light onshore flow for the remainder of the
weekend. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are
expected today into the evening as a very moist and unstable air
mass remains in place. An upper level ridge will begin to build in
on Sunday providing lower chances for showers that will decrease
further next week. High pressure ridging across the northern Gulf
and a series of low pressure systems over the Plains will allow
for modest southerly winds during next week.
