.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak onshore flow and a mix of patchy fog and haze will continue
through tonight. Residual smoke from Central America will
continue to cause hazy conditions across South Texas ahead of our
next front. The cold front is expected to move offshore Friday
morning resulting in a northeasterly weak to moderate flow. Weak
to moderate northeast winds Friday night will strengthen to
moderate to strong Saturday as it shifts to the east. A weak to
moderate southeasterly flow returns early next week. A low chance
of showers and storms on Saturday increases to a low to medium
chances for Sunday and Monday.
