With onshore flow resulting in elevated moisture, sea fog potential increases as we head into the weekend with the best chances of fog being during the overnight and morning hours across the bays and nearshore waters. Dense fog with visibilities less than 1NM is possible. Rain chances remain next to none through the remainder of today before a low to medium chance (20-60%) of rain returns on Saturday ahead of our next frontal passage. In the wake of our next front on Sunday, winds will shift to the northeast and strengthen to become fresh to strong (BF 5-6). This wind setup will persist through Monday morning before settling back down to gentle to moderate levels (BF 3-4) and once again shifting into an onshore flow pattern. $$ GMZ236-237-130715- Copano, Aransas, and Redfish Bays- San Antonio, Mesquite, and Espiritu Santo Bays- 1226 PM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 .TONIGHT...East winds 5 to 10 knots.
