.OUTLOOK (DAYS 3-5)...
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST FOR TUESDAY
MORNING...WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ENDING BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
RAIN CHANCES IN GENERAL ENDING BY TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT LIGHT
ONSHORE WINDS TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME MODERATE TO STRONG IN
RESPONSE TO A TROUGH DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WEST
TEXAS AND REMAIN MODERATE TO STRONG THROUGH THURSDAY.

* A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MEANS THAT ANY RIP CURRENTS THAT DO
  FORM ARE LIKELY TO BE WEAK BUT STILL MAY POSE A DANGER TO POOR
  SWIMMERS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN RIP CURRENTS ARE TYPICALLY MORE
  FREQUENT IN THE VICINITY OF JETTIES...INLETS...AND PIERS AND
  THESE CAN BE QUITE STRONG ON DAYS WHERE THE OVERALL RIP CURRENT
  THREAT IS LOW...ESPECIALLY IF STRONG SOUTHERLY OR NORTHEASTERLY
  WINDS EXIST.

* WAVE HEIGHT AND PERIOD FORECASTS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF DEEP OCEAN
  WAVES OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS...NOT SURF CONDITIONS.
