.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Onshore flow redevelops today at mainly weak to moderate levels,
though bays and nearshore waters south of Port Aransas will be
moderate. By Saturday, more of the area will see a moderate flow
through the afternoon and overnight hours. Weak to moderate
southeast flow is expected to continue Sunday through mid-week
next week. However, Monday afternoon through Monday night, there
is a low to medium chance for winds to strengthen to Small Craft
Advisory conditions (over 20 knots). Because of the elevated wind
potential, seas could reach 5-7 feet.
