...PATCHY TO AREAS OF FOG ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS COAST...

Webcams, traffic cameras and satellite imagery show patchy to
areas of marine fog and some low-level stratus occurring over the
Laguna Madre and nearshore Gulf of Mexico waters as light rain and
drizzle moves over the region. Mariners can expect reduced
visibilities of 1 to 3 nautical miles, with occasional dense fog
reducing visibility to less than 1 nautical mile in the heavier
rain through mid afternoon. If dense marine fog worsens, a Dense
Fog Advisory may be needed.

If you must navigate, proceed with caution. Use proper fog
signals. Make sure all running lights are on. Remember to use
your radar and compass.

...DANGEROUS MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
TODAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...

A strong cold front will move through the coastal waters today,
likely bringing strong Gale force southeast to south winds gusting
in the 35 to 45 knot range. There is a 20 percent chance of storm
force gusts up to 50 knots across the northern outer waters this
morning. By this afternoon, winds are expected to shift to the
southwest and west behind the cold front, with the potential for
additional Gale force wind gusts up to 35 knots.

The strong Gale force winds will likely bring large and very
choppy seas today and tonight, with the potential for breaking
waves at Morro Bay and Ventura Harbors. In addition, there is a
slight chance of thunderstorms today and tonight across the
coastal waters, capable of producing brief heavy downpours, strong
winds, small hail, dangerous cloud to ocean lightning, and
isolated waterspouts.
