.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Light to gentle (BF 2-3) south to southwesterly flow will continue
tonight, before a strong cold front moves through between 5-9 AM
Sunday morning, bringing only a low (20-30%) chance of showers and
thunderstorms. Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely follow
in the wake over the bays with mainly a strong breeze (BF 6),
whereas strong to near- Gale force (BF 6-7) develops over the open
waters. The stronger winds over the open waters warrants a Gale
Watch through Monday morning due to frequent Gale- force gusts and
building seas over 10 feet. An upgrade to either a Small Craft
Advisory or Gale Warning will be needed ahead of the frontal
passage. Conditions are expected to improve by Monday evening,
with winds below 20 knots and seas subsiding below 7 feet. Gentle
to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore flow returns Tuesday, strengthening
to a south to southeasterly fresh to strong breeze (BF 5-6)
Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Moderate to fresh breeze
will follow to close out the work week.
