.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Moderate to strong offshore flow is expected this 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. Waves are expected to become elevated offshore this
afternoon in response to Hurricane Helene progressing through the
Gulf, leading to Advisory conditions in the Gulf waters south of
Port Aransas which will likely persist through Saturday. Flow
will transition to weak to moderate this evening allowing the
nearshore waters to likely drop back to Small Craft Should
Exercise Caution conditions. Long period swell and elevated seas
from Hurricane Helene will linger into the weekend before
subsiding Saturday night. Low rain chances will gradually increase
to moderate, mainly over the offshore waters, through the middle
of next week as moisture returns.
