.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure over the northern Gulf of Mexico
will continue to provide favorable marine conditions through
Sunday. A potential tropical low pressure area could form over
the Bay of Campeche late Sunday and early next week which may
cause a strengthening pressure gradient across the southwest
Gulf. Main impact for mariners along the lower Texas coast looks
to be increasing swells and thunderstorms. Small Craft Advisories
may be warranted early next week.
