GMZ400-040615- 1259 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Southerly flow will prevail over the northern Gulf of Mexico while a few scattered showers and thunderstorms develop over the coastal water before building further inland. Broad high pressure ridging across the northern Gulf and a series of low pressure systems over the Plains will allow for modest southerly winds this week...and small craft should exercise caution if boating in these conditions. Winds and seas will relax by later this week as high pressure again becomes the dominant feature over the western Gulf. $$ GMZ430-040615- Sabine Lake- 1259 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 .TODAY...South winds around 10 knots.
