.SYNOPSIS...

Southerly flow will prevail over the northern Gulf of Mexico
while a few scattered showers and thunderstorms develop over the
coastal water before building further inland. Broad high pressure
ridging across the northern Gulf and a series of low pressure
systems over the Plains will allow for modest southerly winds
this week...and small craft should exercise caution if boating in
these conditions. Winds and seas will relax by later this week as
high pressure again becomes the dominant feature over the western
Gulf.
