Galveston, Texas

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

The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a
coastal Flood Warning... which is in effect until noon CST Monday.
The coastal Flood Watch is no longer in effect.

A low pressure system moving into the western Gulf of Mexico will
strengthen easterly winds across the Upper Texas coast. These winds
will serve to further elevate tides across the area... which are
already running one foot above astronomical values.

The highest tide levels are expected to occur during high tide
Sunday night with tide levels between 3.8 and 4.6 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 including Highway 87 on the Bolivar Peninsula and other
lower lying coastal roads leading to hazardous travel conditions.

Elsewhere along the Upper Texas coast and Galveston Bay... beach
flooding will be common with minimal if any impacts elsewhere.

Tide levels are expected to quickly subside Monday afternoon as the
winds shift to a northerly direction.
