 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
 
 Winds diminish to a light to gentle (BF 2-3) breeze with a variable
 wind direction tonight. Onshore flow begins to increase Friday
 ahead of a strong Arctic cold front. Winds are expected to shift
 to a northerly direction and increase to a strong to near gale (BF
