.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

High pressure to the east and low pressure to the west has
strengthened our onshore flow this afternoon so that a Small Craft
Advisory is in effect until 100 AM Saturday Morning. However, the
high pressure will nose into the Coastal Bend overnight allowing
the flow to weaken. Weak to moderate onshore flow will continue
through next week. The persistent onshore flow will result in seas
of 3-6 feet continuing into early next week.
