.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore flow is expected to continue through the
weekend along with isolated showers. The combination of light
winds and sufficient low level moisture may lead to tropical
funnel development Sunday morning. Most of these funnel clouds
will be short lived and typically do not touch the ground.
However, you should be prepared to seek shelter in the event a
funnel does reach the ground. Light onshore flow persists into
early next week before increasing to weak to moderate by mid-week.
Swell heights are expected to increase the latter half of the
week as a disturbance moves into the Gulf of Mexico.
