.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A weak to moderate south-southeasterly flow this morning will
gradually increase to near moderate levels through the day. A
generally moderate onshore flow will continue as we head into the
weekend. Isolated showers and storms are possible over the waters
both today and tomorrow. By Sunday, moderate flow will continue
as a tropical wave moves into Mexico during the afternoon, which
will also lead to low to medium chance (20-40%) of showers and
thunderstorms. Skies may be hazy at times on Sunday afternoon and
Monday as a plume of Saharan dust spreads across the Western Gulf.
By mid-week, moderate flow will return and continue through the
remainder of the period.
