.SYNOPSIS...

Weak onshore flow along with dry and hazy conditions will persist
today across the Lower Texas coastal waters. Onshore flow will
begin to increase by Monday afternoon due to low pressure
developing in the Plains. That strengthening trend with the
onshore flow will continue throughout the week. Seas will
gradually respond and build to 4 to 6 feet by midweek. As a
result, small craft should exercise caution conditions are
expected by midweek due to an increase in both winds and seas.
Generally dry and hazy conditions will persist throughout the
week.
