...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TUESDAY MORNING TO 4 PM
CST TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN HOUSTON/GALVESTON HAS ISSUED A
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TO 4 PM CST
TUESDAY.

...COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER TEXAS COAST AND
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO STRENGTHENING NORTHEAST AND EAST WINDS OVERNIGHT
AND TUESDAY OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS. EAST WINDS WILL HELP TO INCREASE
TIDE LEVELS 1.0 TO 2.0 FEET ABOVE THE ASTRONOMICALLY PREDICTED LEVELS.
THIS MAY RAISE WATER LEVELS ENOUGH TO CAUSE COASTAL FLOODING OF LOW
LYING AREAS...ESPECIALLY AROUND TIME OF HIGH TIDE LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

IT REMAINS UNCERTAIN HOW QUICKLY THIS GULF STORM WILL MOVE EAST OF THE
AREA. THIS WILL IMPACT THE DEGREE OF WATER LEVEL RISE. STAY TUNED FOR
UPDATES ON LATER STATEMENTS...AND ANY COASTAL WARNINGS SHOULD IT
BECOME NECESSARY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES WILL
COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ALONG THE SHORE.

...COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY FROM GULF STORM...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS STILL FORECAST TO FORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT
THAT MOVED THROUGH SOUTHEAST TEXAS LAST NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN DEVELOPING TONIGHT OVER THE LOWER TEXAS COAST AND WILL
LIKELY LEAD TO STRENGTHENING NORTHEAST AND EAST WINDS OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING OVER OUR AREA. THIS MAY RAISE WATER LEVELS ENOUGH
TO CAUSE COASTAL FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS...ESPECIALLY AROUND TIME
OF HIGH TIDE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

IT REMAINS UNCERTAIN ON HOW QUICKLY THIS GULF STORM WILL DEVELOP...
AND HOW QUICKLY IT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL IMPACT THE
DEGREE OF WATER LEVEL RISE. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES ON LATER
STATEMENTS...AND ANY WATCHES...WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES SHOULD THEY
BECOME NECESSARY.
