Just a quick heads up for those with overnight & early morning operations planned...

Although winds along the upper Texas coast are already around 15-20 knots early this afternoon, we're expecting an additional, fairly rapid increase late tonight and Monday morning. 

What

Expect sustained south winds to increase to 25-30 knots with some gusts to, or above, gale force a possibility. A Gale Warning may be required.

Timing & Locations

The highest winds will likely fall into the time period between 0300-1200 Monday. We should still see breezy conditions during the afternoon hours, but the threat of 30+ knots gusts should diminish.

Marine areas generally from the middle portions of the bays to about 40nm offshore will probably observe the highest wind speeds.    

Impacts

With the increased winds comes a corresponding increase in seas offshore (6-8 ft), breaking waves & stronger rip currents nearshore.

We could see some water up to the Highway 87/124 intersection on Bolivar Peninsula a few hours before and after high tide which occurs around 8 am Monday morning.
