.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

BE SUFFICIENT WIND ENERGY IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE SEVERE

WILL END BY LATE EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST OF THE
REGION.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING

A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR ALL THE AREA STARTING AT 9 AM
TODAY. EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO OCCASIONALLY 30 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUST ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WINDS BECOMING SOUTHERLY LATER TODAY
AND DIMINISHING THIS EVENING TO WESTERLY AT 10 TO 20 MPH AFTER THE
FRONT PASSES.
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE MARINE
AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. EAST SOUTHEAST WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND SEAS
TO 10 FEET THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY...WITH THE
WINDS INCREASING TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS AS THEY BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY
LATER TODAY.  A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT.

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT
CHRISTMAS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE DAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.
COMPUTER MODEL GUIDANCE IS SHOWING ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHWESTERN GULF ON TUESDAY...MOVING EAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF BY NEXT WEDNESDAY.  IF THIS PATTERN
HOLDS...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE OVER THE MARINE AREA WITH
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ALONG THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
