229 AM CDT Sat Sep 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure offshore will continue the trend of hot, dry and
calm conditions. Seas are below 2 feet and will stay there
through the weekend. In addition winds will be light and variable.
The pattern will start to change around midweek as a front moves
offshore, increasing winds.

In the Gulf the NHC has a 60% region for development of a
tropical cyclone. There is little consistency between individual
models or model run-to-run consistency. It will be important to
keep a close eye on the forecast for the next several days.
