.SYNOPSIS...
Light west to southwest flow this morning will trend more offshore
through the morning into afternoon as a weak frontal boundary sags
south over the coastal waters. Scattered showers or thunderstorms
will be possible along the boundary today, mainly over the waters
east of the Cameron. Drier conditions and a light generally
offshore flow will then persist into Friday, with onshore flow
resuming over the weekend as high pressure moves east of the area.
Another front will move southward over the coastal waters by
early next week, bringing the next chance for rain and another
period of light variable to offshore flow.
