1035 AM EDT Sun Aug 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Widespread maritime convection is expected the next couple of
days with the passage of a tropical wave across the Northern Gulf.
Outside of thunderstorms, light easterly winds initially prevail
before shifting more out of the south heading into Monday.
Following the tropical wave`s departure around mid-week, a
building ridge of high pressure prompts a west to southwest wind
shift in addition to a reverting of typical summertime diurnally

hours.
