GMZ400-272145- 337 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A tight pressure gradient between a series of lows over the Southern Plains and a surface high off the east coast will allow for a prolonged period of strong and gusty southerly/onshore winds. Sustained winds are likely to be near or above 20 knots through the weekend with gusts over 30 knots. This, along with building seas to as high as 10 feet offshore, will bring about a long duration Small Craft Advisory conditions through the weekend. Showers and thunderstorms return over coastal waters late Sunday with elevated rain chances continuing into late Tuesday. The onshore winds will decrease early next week as the high weakens off the east coast and no deep surface lows are expected to form over the Southern Plains. $$ GMZ430-272145- Sabine Lake- 337 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING... .TODAY...Southeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots.
