.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect across offshore waters
south of Port Aransas through 11am Friday. Swells from Hurricane
Hermine in the eastern Gulf of Mexico are expected to reach our
offshore waters later this evening and elevated seas from
Hurricane Helene may linger into Saturday. Otherwise, winds are
expected to be light and variable with seas decreasing to 1 to 2
feet over the weekend. Low (10-25%) rain chances return late
Monday or Tuesday, mainly across the offshore waters, then shift
closer to the coast by mid week.
