.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A strong south to southeasterly flow will persist through Monday
afternoon. This will lead to elevated seas and Small Craft
Advisory conditions. Winds are expected to shift to the west to
northwest and weaken to moderate levels late Monday afternoon as a
frontal boundary approaches the region. Small Craft Advisory
conditions will likely continue though due to elevated seas
Monday. Isolated showers will be possible ahead of the boundary on
Monday. A weak to moderate northeasterly flow will develop in the
wake of a cold front Tuesday morning. A brief period of Small
Craft Advisory conditions may develop over the offshore waters
Tuesday morning as the boundary moves through. A weak to moderate
flow will vary from the east to northeast through much of the work
week. By Thursday/Friday, onshore flow returns.
