.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...


A Marine Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect through 10 AM across the bays and nearshore waters.
Trends will continue to be monitored as north-northwest winds and slightly drier air may be enough to clear our any lingering fog.
There is a moderate chance patchy to areas of dense fog will linger across the nearshore waters through the afternoon hours,
then chances increase this evening into Wednesday morning when onshore flow returns and brings fog back along the coast.
Areas of fog will be possible through Friday.
A weak to moderate onshore flow will persist Wednesday through Thursday.
Offshore flow develops Friday afternoon as a cold front approach the coast and strengthens to moderate levels by Saturday behind the cold front.
