.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Nightly rounds of patchy to areas of fog can be expected through
Saturday. Otherwise, a generally gentle to moderate (BF 3-4)
onshore flow will persist through Sunday. A cold front Sunday
night will result in winds being more out of the northeast at a
strong to gale strength (BF 6-7) with seas building to 10-14 ft
offshore by Monday. Aside from some streamer showers today
(15-20% chance of rain), the next best chance comes with the cold
