including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Fetch of light to moderate onshore winds will maintain somewhat
elevated seas for the next several days. Mariners should note high
flows from area rivers, creeks, and streams will lead to above
normal water levels and strong currents in the bays and
intercoastal water way well into midweek and can make navigation
difficult. The next cold front pushes off the coast late Thursday
night and early Friday morning.
