.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore flow will persist through Sunday
morning, gradually increasing out of the northeast throughout the
day as Hurricane Beryl approaches. While uncertainty is still
high on timing and actual track, very high seas, potentially
greater than 20 feet can be expected late this weekend into early
next week with tropical storm or hurricane conditions possible as
Beryl approaches the Texas coast. Rain chances will increase
Sunday with medium to high chances hanging around through mid to
late next week.
