A surface front will remain nearly stationary right along the coast and with a weak pressure pattern over the coastal waters, mainly light westerly to offshore winds and low seas are expected. There will still be a chance for showers and thunderstorms south of front. By mid week, lower pressure will form over the Plains with a weak surface high over the northern Gulf.
