.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore will continue through Thursday night
along with chances for patchy fog in the late night and early
morning hours. In addition to patchy fog, residual smoke from
Central America will continue to cause hazy conditions across
South Texas before our next front passes. A cold front will move
offshore Friday morning. Weak to moderate northeast winds Friday
will strengthen to moderate to strong Saturday as it shifts to the
east after the frontal passage. By early next week, winds will
shift to the southeast and remain moderate. Rain chances return
Saturday with chances for precipitation in the forecast through
Monday.
