.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Strong southerly flow between 20-25 knots is expected today with winds beginning to decrease tonight.
Late tonight into early Wednesday morning, winds will be weak and variable before the arrival of our next cold front during the afternoon.
Winds in the wake of the front shift to the north and increase to 20-25 knots.
The moderate to strong northerly flow will persist Wednesday night into Thursday morning, which would warrant another SCA.
Gales may be a concern offshore. Winds will diminish gradually over the end of the week and become light over the weekend.
Onshore flow resumes Friday night. Isolated to scattered showers with a few embedded thunderstorms will be possible Thursday through Friday.
The weather will clear up for Saturday and Sunday.
