(OMB) had approved the collection of information associated with those
requirements. The announcement also indicated that the requirement would be
enforced beginning September 3. The Coast Guard has now clarified that the
information collection will be enforced as of February 22, 2011, when the
salvage and marine firefighting regulations come into force. 75 Fed. Reg.

WEATHER
Forecast Discussion
Partly cloudy skies today as we are looking for another warm afternoon in
the upper 80s. Winds today will be from the south and southeast at 5-10
mph.
Tuesday morning a strong cold front will march across Southeast Texas.
Thanks to very limited moisture we are only expecting a few scattered
showers at best with the front. The cold front will bring in much cooler
temperatures with highs only reaching the upper 70s for Tuesday afternoon.
Also behind the front, much drier air coupled with strong gusty north winds
will create a high fire threat given that little moisture is currently
present in the soil and vegetation.
A red flag warning will likely be posted for Tuesday and beyond. Also burn
bans will likely be extended for all of SE Texas.
Short Term Forecast
Triangle Today: Warm & partly cloudy. High near: 87. Winds: SSE 5-10
mph.
Triangle Tonight: Increasing clouds & mild. Low near: 63. Winds: SSE 2-7
mph.
Lakes Today: Warm & partly cloudy. High near: 88. Winds: South 5-10 mph.
Lakes Tonight: Increasing clouds and mild. Low near: 67. Winds: S 2-6
mph. | | Notice posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 | |
