including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Onshore winds will prevail through the middle of next week. A broad
area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast
to move into the Bay of Campeche late tonight and Sunday and should
bring a longer period swell into the northwest Gulf waters Sunday then
diminish Monday. Otherwise, this system is expected to push inland into
Mexico early in the week and is not anticipated to further impact the
upper Texas coast. Overall, dry conditions will prevail with only isolated
showers or storms mainly in the mornings.
