.SYNOPSIS...

The pressure gradient between a high over the wester Atlantic and
the stationary front draped over the central part of the country
will keep southerly winds elevated the next several days.
Cautionary conditions will continue through Monday, though
advisory-level winds will be possible Sunday into Monday as the
cold front approaches. Seas will continue to be elevated as well.
Showers and thunderstorms will become likely Sunday evening,
exiting our area Monday evening. Winds and seas will subside
Tuesday after the cold front passes and high pressure establishes
