SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS

Flow has remained persistent out of the north-northeast between 20 to 25 knots and is expected to begin a gradual downtrend this evening eventually becoming weak to moderate by early Monday morning. The Small Craft Advisory will remain in effect until tonight. Weak to moderate onshore flow Tuesday ahead of our next cold front will veer to the north early Wednesday morning. This strong cold front is expected to result in Small Craft Advisory conditions across the Gulf Waters/Bays and a moderate (45-65%) chance for Gale force winds Wednesday after the front. There's also a moderate to high chance for showers over the waters Tuesday through the end of the week.
