.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 and low seas for the remainder of the
week. Through the next several days, scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms can be expected each day. Coverage
looks to be best across the coastal waters through the morning
hours. Elevated winds and seas will be possible in the vicinity of
the thunderstorms.
