.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue this
morning, then mainly isolated showers by this afternoon. High
pressure will build across the area through the afternoon. In
response, strong offshore flow will continue through tonight.
Small Craft Advisories are in effect through tonight. Generally
weak to moderate northeast flow Monday. A weak to moderate
easterly flow will develop Monday evening, with winds becoming
southeasterly by early Tuesday morning. A generally weak to
moderate onshore flow will then persist through most of next week.
By next Friday, southeasterly flow will become moderate to
strong, which could lead to elevated seas and Small Craft Advisory
conditions. There is a low chance (15-20%) of showers Wednesday
morning in response to the combination of deeper moisture and a
weak passing disturbance.
