.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

The weak to moderate onshore flow tonight will become south
overnight, and then become onshore by Wednesday afternoon. No
showers are expected. Saharan Dust may linger over the waters
reducing visibility down to around 5 to 6 nautical miles at times.
Weak to moderate onshore flow is expected to develop Thursday and
continue through the end of the work week. Dry conditions are
expected through much of the week, however, there is plenty of
uncertainty towards the latter half of the week depending on the
track and potential impacts from Hurricane Beryl. As Beryl enters
the Bay of Campeche, you can expect rain chances to increase as
well as wave heights, especially across the offshore waters.
