including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Light north to northwest winds and low seas will persist
throughout most of the day. Winds will transition to the south
and southeast tonight and Wednesday, and this onshore flow will
gradually strengthen and persist until another cold front moves
off the coast at the end of the week. Caution flags might be
needed for the strengthening winds and building seas. Our next
chance of rain begins late Wednesday night and continues into the
day on Friday. Drier weather can be expected over the weekend and
into early next week.
