including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Areas of inland fog may bleed into portions of Galveston Bay and
the northern Houston Ship Channel overnight causing reduced
visibility. Fog should burn off toward mid morning. Areas of fog
look to be possible again Wednesday night, though not as prevalent
as tonight. Otherwise, light to moderate onshore flow should

very weak frontal boundary will sag close to the coast late Friday
night or Saturday morning then wash out. Onshore winds quickly
resume late in the day Saturday then increase Sunday.
