.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak onshore flow will continue through midweek, bringing a low to
medium chance of showers and thunderstorms. By Wednesday, winds
will strengthen slightly, becoming moderate and shifting north by
Thursday as a cold front moves offshore. This could lead to brief
periods of Small Craft Advisory conditions. A moderate northerly wind
will continue on Thursday in the wake of the cold front. Isolated
showers and thunderstorms will linger over the coastal waters
through Thursday morning before drier air moves into the region.
As Tropical Storm Helene moves north across the Gulf, we could see
hazardous marine conditions over the weekend as increased swells
arrive. For updates on tropical cyclone development, visit
