Synopsis..
the strong cold front is moving through the region early this morning with any showers ending later this morning. Strong winds have developed and will continue to increase with rising seas through the rest of the morning.
sustained winds near 25 to 30 knots with gusts 35 to 40 knots can be expected across the coastal waters, with slightly lower values across the coastal lakes and bays. With the strong offshore flow, water will be pushed away from the coast and low water conditions of -1.0 to -2.0 mean lower low water can be expected for the coastal lakes and bays, with a low water advisory in effect.
conditions will begin to improve Sunday night into Monday as high pressure builds in behind the front with rapidly decreasing winds and lowering seas expected as we head into the work week. Winds and seas will increase by Tuesday night and remain elevated through Thursday as a tightening pressure gradient produces a prolonged and strong easterly fetch across the northern gulf of mexico.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 314 AM CST Sun Dec 10 2023
The strong cold front is exiting the region with any showers rapidly ending. Gusty and strong north winds have developed across the region with dropping temps. Expect the strongest winds now until early afternoon, before lessening.
High pressure quickly builds across the region into early week, which will allow winds to be near calm with clear skies Monday/Tuesday morning. Monday morning will be the coldest with freezing temps generally north of I-10, with a few localized areas possibly briefly reaching hard freeze criteria across central LA.
Confidence is too low coupled with the localized nature to consider any hard freeze headlines at this time. Tuesday morning, while chilly, will be a few degrees warmer.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 314 AM CST Sun Dec 10 2023
High pressure at the surface extending across the Great Lakes to the East coast and a developing low (of varying intensity depending on model) over the Yucutan peninsula will keep the pressure gradient tight across the region Wednesday and Thursday. While winds are expected to remain below advisory criteria onshore, the Northeasterly breeze will be noticeable and Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed offshore through the end of the week. Guidance keeps the majority of tropical moisture associated with the developing low off the coast through Thursday night. By Friday, an upper level low drifting slowly southeast out of the southwestern U.S. across central Texas will begin to provide some additional support for showers although there remains large synoptic scale differences in the evolution of this low heading into next weekend with the track of the low ranging from the northern gulf coast to as far south as the Yucutan Peninsula.
Obviously, the eventual track will have an outsized impact on the forecast next weekend, but given the uncertainty, the official forecast was simply a reflection of the latest NBM.
