Residents of low-lying areas of Galveston County, Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula should be aware that we will probably see another round of high tides by Friday as a coastal low, an approaching upper-level disturbance, and high pressure off to our east produce strong easterly winds along the upper-Texas coast. Accordingly the National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Statement for the area, calling for tides running 1-2 feet above usual levels.
Fortunately, the system which is expected to develop to the south near the Coastal Bend, should move fairly rapidly off to the east. This will limit the duration of the high tides and the amount of rainfall here locally and ensure that we get much improved weather for the weekend.
