Surface high pressure over the northeast Gulf will keep winds out of 
the south around 5-15 kt throughout the forecast period. A few 
showers/storms are possible through today, after which high 
pressure aloft will build and help keep rain chances near zero 
through the end of the week.

A prevailing south to southeast flow will continue for the next 
several days. Wind are expected to increase Wednesday night into 
Friday as the pressure gradient tightens. This will allow seas to 
increase into the 3 to 5 foot range. Caution flags may be needed
at times. As higher pressure builds into the region from the 
east, winds and seas should diminish this weekend.
