GMZ200-241030- 307 PM CST Sat Nov 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS... Weak southeast winds are expected to gradually increase through the remainder of the day reaching moderate to strong levels by tonight. Small Craft Advisory conditions will develop by Sunday afternoon and winds will remain moderate to strong through Monday morning as they shift and become more southerly. South-southeasterly winds will be moderate to strong through Monday afternoon before they decrease to more weak to moderate levels and shift to become northerly overnight in the wake of a weak cold front. The front will likely not make far offshore before it begins to lift back northward as a warm front, bringing with it the return of onshore flow on Wednesday. Winds will strengthen once again to moderate to strong levels mid-week ahead of a second cold front, remaining elevated through the beginning of next weekend. Rain chances will be slim (less than 10%) through Monday with low chances (10-30%) for rain Tuesday through Friday across the offshore waters. $$ GMZ236-237-241030- Copano, Aransas, and Redfish Bays- San Antonio, Mesquite, and Espiritu Santo Bays- 307 PM CST Sat Nov 23 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT... .TONIGHT...South winds 10 to 15 knots.
