.SYNOPSIS...

Areas of sea fog are possible again tonight, but dense fog should
remain patchy if present at all with onshore flow increasing as 
an area of low pressure develops and moves across the Plains.
South winds of 15 to 25 knots with gusts to 30 knots are expected. Seas
will build in response to between 4 and 7 feet. The strong, gusty
winds will persist through Saturday as the area remains caught 
between a ridge of high pressure to the east and a trough
of low pressure to the west.

.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Onshore will persist through the rest of the week. Winds will 
continue to strengthen this afternoon into tonight and a Small Craft 
Advisory is now in effect and will continue through 1 AM 
Thursday. The strengthening winds will inhibit fog development; 
however, it will bring the potential for coastal flooding along 
Gulf-facing beaches, particularly during times of high tide. In 
addition to the coastal flood risk, there will also be an increase
risk for rip currents from mid week through at leas the end of 
the week. Chances for showers and storms will increase near the 
end of the week into the weekend as a cold front approaches.

.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely continue through the 
rest of the work week with seas 7 to 10 feet over the open waters.
A fresh to strong south to southeasterly breeze will persist with
gusts near gale force tonight into Wednesday morning. Slight 
visibility reductions due to patchy fog and haze may develop 
tonight into Wednesday. A coastal trough in the western Gulf and 
high pressure dominating the eastern Gulf will result in a strong 
south-to- north pressure gradient. This translates to fresh to 
strong (BF 5/6) onshore flow through Saturday morning. Offshore 
waters can expect 9-10 ft waves, and 5-7 ft in the nearshore 
waters for the same time period. Before a cold front moves through
on Saturday, onshore flow weakens briefly to gentle (BF 4) winds,
but as the winds switch to be more offshore by Saturday night, 
winds will increase to be more fresh, with waves dropping to 4-5 
ft in the nearshore waters, and down to 5-7 ft in the offshore 
waters.
