 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
 
 Winds will increase to moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) levels today
 and persist through Sunday ahead of and behind our next cold
 front. Brief instances of gusts to strong (BF 6) levels can be
 expected Saturday afternoon and evening during the height of the
 frontal passage. The increase of wind coupled with wave heights
 between 4-7 feet will likely lead to the issuance of a Small Craft
 Advisory closer to time. Precipitation is also anticipated with
 this front, with medium to high (50-70%) chances over area waters
 through the day Saturday. Winds will be more northerly post-front
 before returning to an onshore direction with gentle to moderate
 (BF 3-4) conditions by the start of next week. Patchy to areas of
 fog can be expected through Friday morning with more limited
 chances late tonight into Saturday as cloud cover and
 precipitation increase ahead of the front.
