Scattered showers and a low threat  of thunderstorm will accompany this weakening front on Friday and  Friday evening. Winds will calm over the weekend to less than  10 knots as a high pressure system over the eastern Gulf becomes  more dominant over the waters. However, another low pressure system  will once again push winds and seas higher on Monday and Tuesday.  Southerly flow should increase back into the 15 to 20 knot range  over this period. Another round of showers and a few thunderstorms  will also develop over the waters as this next storm system moves  through.    $$
