GMZ200-222045- 216 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 .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. $$ GMZ236-237-222045- Copano, Aransas, and Redfish Bays- San Antonio, Mesquite, and Espiritu Santo Bays- 216 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 .TODAY...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots.
