.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Weak to moderate onshore flow expected today through Wednesday,
due to surface high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico and low
pressure west of the Rio Grande. Weak to moderate southeast flow
Thursday is expected to strengthen to over 20 knots Thursday and
continue impacting our local waters through Saturday. Winds are
expected to weaken back to more moderate levels Sunday into early
next week. With strong winds most of the week, there is a high
chance for Small Craft Advisory conditions.
