.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A lingering area of showers will continue moving eastward this
morning impacting our local waters. This activity is expected to
continue moving eastward with rain free conditions expected after
noon. Strong northwest flow between 20-30 knots is expected to
continue today through this evening before beginning to gradually
decrease after midnight. Winds are forecast to drop to under 15
knots tomorrow morning and become light and variable tomorrow
afternoon. A weak to moderate onshore flow Saturday night is
expected to become north on Sunday as a cold front moves through
the area. Winds increase Sunday night to moderate to strong. Small
Craft Advisory conditions are possible Sunday night and become
more likely Monday in response to high pressure building into the
area. A moderate northeast flow is expected by Monday night and
continues through mid week. There is a medium to high (35-70%)
chance of rain Sunday ahead of the cold front, then ends from west
to east behind the cold front Sunday night.
