Galveston, Texas

... Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect until noon CST Monday...

A low pressure system in the western Gulf of Mexico will move north
leading to strengthening easterly winds across the Upper Texas
coast. This persistent easterly flow has developed a large fetch of
easterly swells that will run up the beach causing widespread beach
flooding. These winds will serve to further elevate tides across the
area... which were already running one to one and one half foot above
astronomical values.

The highest tide levels are expected to occur during high tide
tonight and early Monday morning with the highest tide levels
between 3.5 and 4.8 feet possible. The main impacts are expected to
occur along the Bolivar Peninsula and the west end of Galveston
Island. Water may at times overspread roadways near the
beach... including Highway 87 on the Bolivar Peninsula near High
Island... and other lower lying coastal roads leading to hazardous
travel conditions.
