.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A weak to moderate onshore flow this evening will become moderate
to strong offshore flow early Thursday morning in response to a
passing frontal boundary. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect
across the near and offshore waters north of Port Aransas on
Thursday. Waves are likely to become elevated offshore Thursday
afternoon, which may prompt the Advisory to be extended. Across
the southern waters and bays, winds will generally be at moderate
levels. Some thunderstorms will be possible ahead and along the
boundary this evening, with strong winds being the primary hazard.
As Helene moves across the Gulf, increased swells will lead to
hazardous marine conditions as we head into the weekend. Brief
periods of Small Craft Advisory conditions may develop at times.
Otherwise, dry conditions will continue over the weekend. Rain
chances gradually increase early next week as moisture begins to
return.
