including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Light to occasionally moderate onshore winds and seas of 2 to 4
feet are expected through the next few days. Caution flags may be
needed at times. During the second half of the week, a long fetch
setting up across the Gulf could increase seas to 4 to 6 feet.
Shower and thunderstorm chances return to the forecast late
Tuesday night and Wednesday. Though chances are better inland, we
anticipate some disturbances passing through the remainder of the
week that are difficult to time days in advance.
