.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Isolated showers remain 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 onshore
flow today will increase to more moderate levels late in the work
week. Low to moderate rain chances are forecast through this
time-frame 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.
