Synopsis
A light to moderate northeast wind flow will persist through tonight then become east and southeast while gradually increasing Saturday and Saturday night. This will be in response to developing low pressure tracking eastward over the north central Gulf Saturday and into the coastal areas of Mississippi and Alabama Sunday. Widespread showers with a few embedded thunderstorms are expected ahead of this system with a few strong thunderstorms possible...occurring mostly offshore Saturday night and early Sunday morning. A moderate offshore flow in the wake of the low is expected Sunday through Sunday evening. Lighter flow is expected during the early part of next week as weak high pressure builds over the marine area...but another front is expected to sweep east across the area on Wednesday.
