SYNOPSIS FOR BAFFIN BAY TO RIO GRANDE OUT 60 NM-
327 PM CST SUN NOV 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...WINDS BECOME SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AND BEGIN TO INCREASE
MONDAY AS THE NEXT UPSTREAM LOW PRESSURE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT
MOVE INTO THE NORTH TEXAS. PRESSURE GRADIENT DOES NOT TIGHTEN
ENOUGH IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH TO WARRANT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
BUT STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE ANTICIPATED TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY. SOME GUSTS COULD NEAR GALE FORCE BUT NO GALE WATCH
IS ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS NORTH OF THE
TEXAS COAST AND EVEN GETS REINFORCED THURSDAY TO AT LEAST MAINTAIN
A MODERATE NORTH WIND. THIS MIGHT PROLONG THE HIGH SEAS THAT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE GENERATED BY THE INITIAL NORTHERLY SURGE SO AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
MUCH OF THE LATER HALF OF COMING WEEK.
