.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) southeasterly flow will persist through
the end of the week, with seas holding near 3-5 feet. Isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through
Thursday before increasing in coverage late Thursday into Friday
and continuing through Saturday as a strong upper-level system
approaches. By Friday and Saturday, wind direction may become more
variable as a weak frontal boundary approaches the region,
keeping daily chances for showers and thunderstorms in place
through the weekend and early next week. By then, onshore flow
will strengthen to fresh to strong (BF 5-6) ahead of the next
passing frontal system.
