levels across the upper Texas coastal waters over the next few
days. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected to begin today
and last through much of the week. The chance of gale force winds,
at least in gusts, is increasing for the Tuesday to Wednesday time
frame. Mariners should closely monitor the forecasts.
