.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Winds should continue decreasing this evening into tonight as winds
continue to gradually veer. Moderate (15-20 knots) northeast winds
are expected to redevelop tomorrow in the wake of the front with
strong winds (20-25 knots) developing tomorrow afternoon into
tomorrow night. Despite winds dropping below Small Craft Advisory
levels this afternoon and evening, the advisory is expected to
remain in effect due to a lag in the decrease of wave heights. A
moderate to strong northeast flow is expected Friday, then will
decrease to weak to moderate levels by Friday night and Saturday
as winds veer to the east and southeast. A light southerly flow is
expected Sunday and Monday. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms will be possible over the weekend, then rain chances
decrease from west to east Monday.
