.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 foot above astronomical values.
The highest tide levels are expected to occur during high tide tonight and early Monday morning. The main impacts will be beach beach flooding and possibly other lower lying coastal roads leading to hazardous travel conditions.

A coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water... and take appropriate action to protect life and property. Do not venture into the water as tidal currents may be very strong.
