.SYNOPSIS...

Weak high pressure at the surface will ridge across the northern
Gulf of Mexico for the next several days. This will allow for
mainly light onshore flow for the remainder of the week, to go
along with mainly low seas. Tomorrow through the weekend,
scattered to occasionally widespread showers and thunderstorms
are expected each day. Coverage looks to be best across the
coastal waters through the morning hours. Elevated winds/seas will
be possible in and nearby thunderstorms.
