.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A gentle to moderate onshore breeze (BF 3-4) can be expected
today through tonight across the coastal waters. Another cold
front is forecast to push through Thursday morning, bringing
another wave of fresh to strong northeasterly flow in its wake
through Thursday night. This will likely warrant a Small Craft

weekend, with the wind direction varying. Moderate rain chances
today will increase to medium to high, 60-90%, Thursday through
