.DISCUSSION...

Moderate to strong southerly and southeasterly winds will remain
in place through the remainder of the week and into the weekend. Not
only will the strong onshore flow be in place, but with high
pressure off to our east-northeast and low pressure slowly taking
shape over the southern Plains, a rather long and persistent
southeast fetch will set up over the eastern Gulf. This will lead to
hazardous boating conditions and well above normal tides across the
region. These impacts will last into the weekend before the passage
of the next cold front on Sunday.
