Let's look at the glass half-full today, shall we? It's gray and windy right now and the mercury may not even reach 70 degrees, which makes July 2 one of the best early May forecasts you'll ever see. Surfers of the Third Coast surfers will want to at least pay attention to the beach hazards statement in effect until 10 p.m. before trying to catch the expected 3 to 6 foot waves. There's a chance for showers overnight as things begin to get wet and warm in time for the Independence Day holiday.
