.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore flow will continue through Monday.
Strong onshore winds are expected Tuesday with Small Craft
Advisory conditions likely through Friday. Occasional gusts to
Gale force will be possible Wednesday. Wave heights are expected
to increase to 8-13 feet across the coastal waters this week,
especially if a tropical depression or tropical storm develops in
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center has
a high, 70% chance of development in the next 7 days. Regardless
of tropical development, deep moisture will move into the area
resulting in a 50-90% chance of showers and thunderstorms through
the week.
