.SYNOPSIS...Weak pressure gradient over the Lower Texas Coast 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.
