The gusty S winds continue, especially at Brownsville (43 knots) dropping to 15 New Orleans. The signature shape of overflying migrants is visible at Houston and Lake Charles. Otherwise circus-Gulf migrants are in evidence. With a front forecast to reach the Texas coast tonight and Louisiana on Friday night/Saturday morning. The front is not forecast to be really strong but it should cause at least a moderate fallout at the worst. Its always hard to predict the exact timing of these events since the weather systems that cause them may vary in affecting the coast by 36 to 48 hours. So Wendy I think the later the better at your location. John C.
