.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A generally weak to moderate southeasterly flow will continue
through the rest of the day. A weak frontal boundary will move
offshore this evening, shifting the winds out of the northeast
through Tuesday morning. A east-southeasterly flow resumes Tuesday
afternoon. Increased moisture and an approaching upper level
disturbance will lead to a 30-50% chance of showers and
thunderstorms through this evening. An isolated strong to severe
storm moving offshore cannot be ruled out leading to gusty winds
and large hail. Drier conditions are in store on Tuesday. Weak to
moderate onshore flow is expected to continue through much of the
week. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible early Wednesday afternoon through Thursday.
