.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Low (15-30%) rain chances will develop tonight, increasing slightly
Wednesday to low to medium (20-40%), then become very low to low (5-
20%) Wednesday night. Rain chances will increase to high
(50-80%) Friday and into the weekend along with an increase in
winds to near or above 20 knots as models show a tropical wave
approaching the region. This is expected to potentially lead to
some increased swells which would lead to some Small Craft

into early next week.
