DISCUSSION
A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC AND EXPANDED ACROSS THE GULF THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THIS WILL MAINTAIN LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WITH WINDS
RIGHT AROUND 10 KNOTS. PERIODS OF NEAR 15 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE,
ESPECIALLY IN OPEN GULF WATERS BUT PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY
EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINE. AS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, DAILY
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SHORT
TERM GALE TO STORM FORCE GUSTS WITH STRONGEST CELLS AS WELL AS
LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS IN AND NEAR THE STRONGEST CONVECTION.
