.DISCUSSION...
A frontal boundary will remain stalled over the northern Gulf today
with a reinforcing front entering the area overnight. An even drier
surface high will then settle in for Thursday and Friday with very
low rain chances. This high will begin to move to the east on
Saturday allowing for a light southerly flow to develop. Offshore
shower and thunderstorm activity will also increase as moisture
feeds back into the area over the weekend.
