.SYNOPSIS...The enhanced pressure gradient from the interaction
between high pressure over the central Gulf and the low pressure

winds becoming stronger during the afternoons over the Laguna
Madre. Small Craft Advisories are in effect for today and could
continue for the next several days over all waters for Monday and
