.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Generally weak to moderate east to northeast flow will persist
through Wednesday. Winds will veer to the southeast Thursday and
continue through the weekend. Onshore wind speeds of 10 to 20
knots are expected through most of the long term period. There
will be a medium chance of winds reaching Small Craft Advisory
criteria Friday, due to surface low pressure expected to develop
over the Southern Plains, and Monday due to surface low pressure
predicted to develop near the Rio Grande.
