SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS

Deepening low pressure over the southern Plains will combine with high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico to generate moderate to strong onshore flow today and tonight. Weak to moderate onshore flow Saturday. Moderate southeasterly flow will become moderate to strong Sunday afternoon through Monday as the pressure gradient tightens, resulting in Small Craft Advisory conditions. Moderate southeasterly flow Monday night will shift northerly Tuesday morning as a cold front pushes through. Northerly flow strengthens to moderate to strong Tuesday night into Wednesday morning due to a reinforcing surge of high pressure, resulting in additional Small Craft Advisory conditions.
