.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

North of Port Aranasas, north winds of 10 to 15 knots will
continue into the evening within the bays and in the nearshore
waters. South of Port Aransas, the winds will remain 20 to 25
knots early this afternoon, but will diminish toward evening.
Offshore the winds and waves will remain moderate to strong with
waves of 6 to 8 feet into Thursday morning. The weak winds under
20 knots will be short lived and winds are expected to shift from
the northeast to the southeast and increase to over 20 knots once
again Thursday. Low end rain chances will increase to 30-50%
tonight and jump to 90-97% Thursday. Strong onshore flow quickly
shifts northwest early Friday in response to an approaching
boundary. Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely to persist
through early Saturday. Flow becomes weak to moderate and briefly
shifts back onshore late this weekend before veering northeast and
becoming strong again in response to another boundary early next
week. There`s a high (near 100%) chance for widespread showers
over the waters Thursday night with low to moderate (25-55%)
chances for daily showers next week.
