I know it's early and the forecast could change, but am I interpreting this right that Thursday looks probably ok, Friday probably not, and Saturday iffy? Windspeed is in knots.

Probably a fair assessment, but I wouldn’t write off any of the days just yet. There is a system coming through the Texas coast late Tuesday , but not certain it is carrying as much strength across the gulf as some previous nortes. Norte doesn’t look nearly as prominent on time lapse progression maps over the gulf.
Your windguru forecasts show a decent amount of East component to winds , which is a good thing (some other forecasts are more northerly, which is obviously bad ).
Bottom line, I think you are reading the risks correctly , but not at all certain yet. Given wind forecast direction for Saturday in particular, I really doubt it would be closed all day. Friday is clearly your highest risk day, but I wouldn’t count it out either just yet
