.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A moderate to occasionally strong easterly flow will continue
through the day. Winds will regain a southeasterly component as we
head into Sunday. Brief periods of Small Craft Exercise Caution
conditions are likely over our northern waters this afternoon.
Increased moisture and an upper level disturbance will lead to a
20-40% chance of showers and thunderstorms through the weekend.
Hazy conditions are also expected to continue for the next few
days. Weak to moderate onshore flow will persist through Monday
then becomes weak through Tuesday. Onshore flow may become
northeasterly at times increasing to weak to moderate late Tuesday
through the end of the period. Showers and thunderstorm chances
Sunday night will be low around 15- 20% increasing to a low to
moderate (20-45%) chance Monday, and a low (20-35%) chance
Wednesday/Thursday.
