SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS

A fresh to strong (BF 5-6) northeasterly breeze will decrease throughout the day today becoming light and variable by this evening. Tomorrow a moderate (BF 4) southerly breeze will usher in low-level moisture inland ahead of this weekend's cold front. Behind the front on Saturday, flow shifts northeast and becomes strong (BF6) with Small Craft Advisory conditions. Winds gradually decrease through Sunday with an onshore light to gentle (BF 2-3) breeze returning late Sunday. Winds gradually increase to moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) and become more easterly early Tuesday as a weaker cold front approaches and stalls over the waters. Low to moderate rain chances (30-45%) will return Saturday and again Tuesday into Wednesday as the aforementioned frontal boundaries interact with available moisture.
