THE TIME. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY RIGHT AROUND 10 KNOTS. PERIODS OF
NEAR 15 KNOTS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN OPEN GULF WATERS. AS FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, DAILY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY, HOWEVER, THE BULK OF THE COVERAGE WILL REMAIN
INLAND. WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS LOCALLY HAZARDOUS WINDS AND WAVES CAN
BE EXPECTED.
