.SYNOPSIS...
A combination of strong high pressure developing to the north, and a
trough of low pressure to the east southeast will result in a tight
pressure gradient over area waters this weekend into early next
week. This will lead to elevated conditions with gales expected by
Saturday afternoon. While the high will weaken to the north into
the middle part of next week, an enhanced northeast flow will
continue.
