Winds will primarily be seabreezes and landbreezes this weekend with seas of 1-2 feet. A weak cold front will arrive on Monday, bringing light to moderate north to northeast winds as it pushes off the coast. A tightening pressure gradient and swells from Ian will make for moderate wind speeds and more easterly winds deeper into next week. The stronger winds and possible swell from the storm should build seas through mid-week, particularly in the offshore waters. Caution and or advisory flags may be needed for these elevated winds and seas. If your plans bring you out into the open waters, and especially towards the Eastern Gulf, it is extremely important to keep up with forecasts for Ian from the National Hurricane Center. $$ Expires:202209250830;;391683 FZUS54 KCRP 241955 CWFCRP Coastal Waters Forecast for Texas National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 255 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2022 Middle Texas coastal waters from Baffin Bay to Matagorda ship channel out to 60 nautical miles.
