.DISCUSSION...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND A DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE IN AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL END RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE
COASTAL GULF WATERS SOUTH OF CAMERON PARISH AROUND 5 PM. AS THE
LOW LIFTS NORTH IT WILL STRENGTHEN WHICH WILL TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND THEREFORE INCREASE THE NORTHWEST WINDS TONIGHT. SEAS
WILL BE HIGHER FARTHER AWAY FROM SHORE WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS EXISTING 30 TO 40 NAUTICAL MILES FROM SHORE AND BEYOND.
THE LOW WILL DEPART THE AREA TUESDAY ALLOWING WINDS AND SEAS TO
DECREASE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
