.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...
A weak to moderate east to northeasterly will continue through the middle of the week.
Onshore flow looks to return on Thursday and continue as we head into the weekend.
Onshore flow will strengthen on Friday and Saturday in response to a low-pressure system over the Plains.
Therefore, Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely, generally over the southern and offshore waters at times.
A more moderate flow will return on Sunday before restrengthening again on Monday.
