Areal coverage of showers and storms is expected to be highest today. Southerly to easterly flow will increase today and Wednesday with sustained winds as high as 20-25 mph and gusts to 35 mph along the coastal areas. The latter half of the week will feature slightly drier conditions, but southeasterly flow will persist. MARINE DISCUSSION: Winds will remain in the 20 to 30 knot range over much of the waters today, in response to a broad area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche. These winds are expected to persist through the middle of the week. Some gusts to near gale-force will be possible, primarily west of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Seas will also build in response to the strengthening winds with seas of up to 12 feet expected in the offshore waters today and Wednesday. A gradual decrease in wind speeds and seas is expected on Thursday and Friday as the low in the Bay of Campeche moves into Mexico and weakens. .REST OF TODAY...
