including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Light to moderate onshore flow should continue through the weekend
night with Gulf seas of 2 to 4 feet. Isolated to widely scattered
showers are possible through Thursday, with a better chance of
scattered showers and storms on Friday and Saturday as a weakening

stalls just inland. An increasing onshore flow resumes later in
the weekend as the front washes out and pressures fall to our west.
