.An area of low pressure near the Bay of Campeche is expected to move north into the western Gulf of Mexico today. This feature combined with high pressure over Texas will lead to strong easterly winds over the Upper Texas coastal waters and increased tide levels. Tides are currently running around one foot above normal and are forecast to be around 2 feet above normal overnight tonight. The greatest impact is expected to occur along Gulf facing shores although some low lying roads along the bays may see some minor flooding.
