.SYNOPSIS...Variable winds this morning will become a light to 

moderate easterly to southeasterly flow this afternoon. A low 

pressure system develops this evening over our Gulf waters and 

pushes onshore late tonight into Saturday. This will allow for 

winds and seas to quickly increase, especially over marine areas 

east of the developing low. A moderate to strong onshore flow will

subside Saturday night and into Sunday. A light to moderate 

southwesterly flow follows for early next week.
