.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, elevated seas up to 13 feet
occasionally to 17 feet can be expected late this weekend into
early next week with tropical storm or hurricane conditions
possible as Beryl approaches the northeastern Mexico and South
Texas coastlines. Rain chances will increase Sunday with medium to
high chances hanging around through mid to late next week.
