.SYNOPSIS...
Surface high pressure off to the east will continue to dominate
the weather pattern over the coastal waters. Mainly southerly flow
will persist through the period. Winds will increase some tonight
into Sunday as low pressure forms over the Plains with winds
approaching 20 knots and thus small craft exercise caution will be
headlined during that period. No shower or thunderstorm activity
is expected through the holiday weekend.
