.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. 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 and seas will be
possible in the vicinity of the storms.
