.SYNOPSIS...
A tight pressure gradient between high pressure over the eastern
United States and lower pressure toward the Southern Gulf will
keep moderate to strong easterly winds through Sunday. Due to the
increased easterly flow, minor coastal flooding is again expected
across coastal areas across Southwest Louisiana, Southeast Texas
and adjacent coastal lakes and bays near times of high tide
tonight into early Sunday morning. Winds and seas are expected to
gradually subside by Sunday night thorough Wednesday as high
pressure settles over the region.
