THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH TEXAS AND THE MIDDLE
TEXAS COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A STRONG LATE SEASON COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO SOUTH TEXAS
OVERNIGHT. ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS OUT AHEAD OF
IT WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH TEXAS AND THE COASTAL WATERS. SOME OF THESE
STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BECOMING SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS. BETWEEN 400 PM AND MIDNIGHT WILL BE THE
GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE TODAY FOR A PORTION OF THE
COASTAL WATERS DUE TO STRONG ONSHORE FLOW. THIS ONSHORE FLOW WILL
WEAKEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ENDING FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH ON MONDAY AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN FROM THE NORTH BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT.  DRY WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED BEYOND MONDAY.

STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ON MONDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS HIGHLY LIKELY LATER THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS.
