Light northeasterly flow this morning will increase and veer to 
easterly this afternoon as a coastal trough builds in the 
Southwestern Gulf. Advisory conditions will begin this afternoon and 
continue through this evening. Persistent strong easterly flow will 
cause tides Sunday night to potentially reach 3.5 ft MLLW and wave 
run-up may occur in coastal-flood prone areas, such as Hwy 87 on 
Bolivar. There is moderate uncertainty with the track of the coastal 
low, but the most likely scenario at this time is that it moves just 
along the Texas Coast into the Northern Gulf. There is high 
confidence in periods of showers and thunderstorms late Sunday night 
through Monday morning with strong to severe storms possible. Expect 
locally higher wind and waves near any thunderstorms. A strong cold 
front will push offshore on Monday afternoon, causing northerly 
winds offshore to once again surge to 25-30 kts sustained and gusts 
near 40 kts. A gale warning will likely be required. Seas will 
increase to 9-12 feet and occasionally up to 14-15 feet Monday night 
through Tuesday. Winds and waves gradually decrease through mid-week 
as high pressure settles over the region.
