Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
359 PM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024
Middle Texas coastal waters from Baffin Bay to Matagorda ship channel out to 60 nautical miles.
Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves
...along with occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves.
GMZ200-160930- 359 PM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024
.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
Areas of fog will develop this evening and persist through Saturday morning as moist weak to moderate onshore flow moves across the cooler sea surface.
The proximity of a frontal boundary and copious moisture will contribute to isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight through Saturday.
Locally heavy rainfall may also occur.
The front will move offshore by late Sunday and result in moderate to strong northeast flow Sunday night through Monday night.
This will likely create Small Craft Advisory conditions that will last through early Tuesday morning.
Weak to moderate onshore flow expected by daybreak Tuesday,
as the center of a surface high pressure system moves over the northern Gulf of Mexico and southeastern United States.
This will persist through the remainder of the period.
