.SYNOPSIS...Slightly adverse marine conditions are expected for
the remainder of this weekend along the Lower Texas Coast and into
the early parts of next week due to an enhanced pressure
gradient. Winds will gradually pick up to a gentle to moderate
southerly breeze tonight and further strengthen to moderate to
fresh southerly winds Sunday afternoon and continuing overnight.
Small Craft Should Exercise Cautions are anticipated. Winds will
subside on Monday as a high pressure dominates the Western Gulf,
but pick back up, possibly on Wednesday, ahead of an advancing
cold front forecast to pass through late this upcoming week.
