.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Moderate to strong onshore winds this afternoon becoming strong
overnight into Tuesday. Strong to very strong onshore winds are
possible by Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. Occasional gusts
to gale force will be possible Wednesday through Thursday. Wave
heights are expected to increase to 10-17 feet across the coastal
waters this week. If a stronger tropical system develops, we could
see higher values. The National Hurricane Center has a high, 70%
chance of development in the next 2 and 7 days. Regardless of
tropical development, deep moisture will move into the area
resulting in a 80-99% chance of showers and thunderstorms through
Thursday. Rain chances trend down slightly heading into the
weekend but we will still hold onto a decent chances for showers
and storms as sufficient moisture remains in place.
