.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore flow is expected to continue into the
work week. Isolated showers will be possible this morning
although coverage is expected to be less than the last couple of
mornings. The combination of light winds and sufficient low level
moisture may lead to tropical funnel development this 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. Weak to
moderate at the start of the week will increase to more moderate
levels late in the work week. Low to moderate rain chances are
expected through the week as an upper level disturbance
approaches. Swell heights are expected to increase the latter half
of the week as a disturbance moves into the Gulf of Mexico. These
factors could lead to a brief period Small Craft Advisory
conditions Thursday and Friday.
