.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A weak to moderate onshore flow will continue as we head into the
weekend. Rain chances will increase through the day Saturday as a
cold front nears the region. By Saturday night, chances for
showers and storms will jump up to 50-60% over the waters. The
cold front will move offshore early Sunday morning with northeast
winds increasing to 20-25 knots by Sunday afternoon. There is
currently a high chance that Small Craft Advisories will be issued
for Sunday. Conditions are expected to improve on Monday as high
pressure builds into the northwest Gulf of Mexico. Weak to
moderate flow is expected through the remainder of the period.
