.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Light to moderate (BF 2-4) onshore flow will persist through much of the day today before strengthening on Tuesday to moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) ahead of a frontal boundary.

Behind the front, winds are expected to shift to the north-northwest and increase to a fresh to a strong breeze (BF 5-6) Tuesday night through Wednesday night, potentially approaching near-gale force.

A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed during this period, and Gale headlines may become necessary depending on the evolution of conditions.

By Thursday, winds begin to diminish to a more moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) breeze and eventually to a gentle (BF 3) breeze by the weekend.
