...ADVERSE MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATER THIS WEEK...

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL RAPIDLY
BUILD SOUTH AND BECOME ENTRENCHED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS HIGH WILL THEN INTERACT WITH LOWER
PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND BAY OF CAMPECHE TO
INCREASE WINDS AND SEAS ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS COAST THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY...LIKELY REQUIRING A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY DURING
THAT PERIOD.

NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED DUE TO
THE CLOSE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS.
SEAS WILL BUILD TO BETWEEN 8 AND 11 FEET IN NORTHEAST SWELLS IN
RESPONSE TO THESE STRONGER WINDS...WITH CHOPPY BAY WATERS LIKELY
ON THE LAGUNA MADRE. MARINE CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATE IN THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES DIRECTLY OVER SOUTH AND DEEP
SOUTH TEXAS.
