.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak east-northeasterly winds today will shift onshore tonight
through Saturday, strengthening to 10-15 knots. Onshore flow
becomes moderate to strong and wave heights increase Sunday ahead
of our next cold front early next week, leading to another period
of Small Craft Advisory conditions, and possibly gales. Advisory
conditions will likely be needed through at least the middle of
next week as strong to very strong northerly winds and elevated
seas will prevail behind the front, with the potential for gusts
to reach gale force. There is a medium chance for showers and
thunderstorms Saturday night into Sunday, and thunderstorms are
expected Sunday night into Monday morning.
