 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
 
 Southerly winds increase tonight to fresh to occasionally strong
 as a low-level jet strengthens over the waters. A Small Craft
 Advisory is now in effect from tonight through early Thursday
 morning for the open waters. Winds diminish through the day
 Thursday, leading to gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore flow
 through the remainder of the week, with occasionally fresh (BF 5)
 breezes. Dry conditions will continue until this weekend when low
 chances (15-20%) for precipitation return over area waters ahead
 of our next front. This frontal passage will also shift winds to
 the north-northeast with fresh to strong (BF 5-6) conditions and
 seas at 6-10 feet. This could lead to the issuance of a Small
 Craft Advisory closer to time, while near Gale force gusts could
 become possible offshore.
