.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Northeast winds will become moderate to strong and seas will
increase to 6 to 8 feet today into Saturday as a coastal trough
develops over the western Gulf. Consequently a Small Craft
Advisory has been issued for the bays through Saturday morning,
and for the Gulf waters through Saturday afternoon. There is a
moderate chance of showers today and a high chance for showers
Saturday.

Moderate to strong northeasterly flow will diminish to weak to
moderate northerly flow by late Sunday. Then, the flow becomes
weak by Monday before veering onshore. Our next cold front late
around mid-week next week, is expected to increase and become a
northerly flow for the rest of the period. Small Craft Advisory
conditions this weekend will give way to Small Craft Exercise
Caution conditions on Sunday. Then calmer conditions prevail
Monday. There`s a moderate to high chance for showers over the
waters this weekend through Sunday evening.
