.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

The Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through Sunday morning
in response to a persistent strong onshore flow across the marine
zones with occasional gusts up to 35 knots possible. Winds may
weaken slightly tonight, but will quickly ramp up by early
Saturday with seas remaining elevated. A few showers and
thunderstorms have developed along the coast and nearshore waters
which could persist through this evening as a weak disturbance
tracks over the area. The strong onshore flow is expected to
linger through Sunday night, leading to additional Small Craft
Advisory conditions. Winds will diminish Monday with weak to
moderate onshore flow persisting through the upcoming week.
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible daily
Sunday through the upcoming week.
