.DISCUSSION...A low pressure system and front to the northwest has pushed
the ridge of high pressure over the Pearl and Hermes area. The front is
expected to remain nearly stationary and will keep winds light to gentle
from the south or southeast through the forecast period. A low pressure
system aloft to the southwest of the area will push clouds over Pearl and
Hermes through Tuesday but is not expected to bring significant rainfall.
A short period northwest swell from the low pressure system is expected to
peak on Monday, then decrease slightly on Wednesday. A small, medium period
south-southeast to south swell is expected to remain steady through Tuesday
before fading to background levels on Wednesday.
