.DISCUSSION...
A few clouds this morning but these will be increasing through the
day. A bit of patchy fog mainly down along the coast but this will
be gone quickly after sunrise. Southerly winds as a cold front 
that is now moving through southern Oklahoma will move into 
northern Texas around sunrise and build southward through the day.
The front is expected to enter the lakes region of southeast 
Texas this afternoon late and exit the south central Louisiana 
coast during the evening hours. Showers and isolated thunderstorms
will accompany the front this evening with winds swinging around 
to the northwest. Winds are expected to become brisk in the 
coastal waters and a Small Craft Advisory has been posted during 
the overnight hours Sunday morning and into the afternoon hours.

Todays highs look to be around 80 degrees with temperatures
falling behind the front. Temperatures tomorrow morning will be in
the lower 40s which will be around a 15 degree drop from this
morning. Clouds to hold on Sunday afternoon temperatures in the 
upper 50s. High pressure will settle in the south as a 1034 high 
spreads out across central and the eastern US. High pressure will 
move into the eastern seaboard towards Thursday as the next system 
drops down into Oklahoma... this system will bring another rounds 
of showers and thunderstorms.
