.SYNOPSIS...
A light northerly flow is expected to develop on the coastal
waters by this morning as a weak cool front slips into the
northwest Gulf of Mexico. The front is forecast to meander over
the coastal waters into Wednesday before drifting back inland and
dissipating...a southerly flow again expected to develop over the
region through the remainder of the forecast period. Daily rain
chances through mid-week are expected to give way to drier
weather by the end of the period as high pressure develops aloft.
