 .SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
 
 Today will have a weak to moderate north to northeast flow over the
 South Texas waters. Winds will gust high enough that small craft
 should exercise caution in the offshore waters this afternoon.
 Tonight winds will diminish to weak to moderate out of the
 northeast, and continue into Wednesday. Swell periods will continue
 to increase through Wednesday, due to Hurricane Milton, and may
 cause higher waves. Swell heights of 1-3 feet along with swell
 periods of 10-12 seconds are expected Wednesday night through
 Friday evening. The good news is that winds will generally be weak
 under 15 knots through the end of the week which will help keep
 wave heights under Small Craft Advisory conditions (under 7 feet).
 However, due to the increased energy from Hurricane Milton, brief
 periods of higher waves Thursday and Friday can't be ruled out
 which could lead to a brief issuance of a Small Craft Advisory.
