Coastal Flood Warning Statement as of 1:08 PM CST on November 8, 2009

... Coastal Flood Warning in effect until noon CST Monday...

The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a
coastal Flood Warning... which is in effect until noon CST Monday.
The coastal Flood Watch is no longer in effect.

A low pressure system in the western Gulf of Mexico will move north
leading to strengthening easterly winds across the Upper Texas coast.
This persistent easterly flow has developed a large fetch of easterly
swells that will run up the beach causing widespread beach flooding.
These winds will serve to further elevate tides across the area...
which were already running one to one and one half foot above
astronomical values.

The highest tide levels are expected to occur during high tide
tonight and early Monday morning with tide levels between 3.5 and 4.8
feet possible. The main impacts are expected to occur along the
Bolivar Peninsula and the west end of Galveston Island. Water may at
times overspread roadways near the beach... including Highway 87 on
the Bolivar Peninsula near High Island... and other lower lying
coastal roads leading to hazardous travel conditions.

Note: tide levels are referenced from mean lower low water

A coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for
rising water... and take appropriate action to protect life and
property. Do not venture into the water as tidal currents may
be very strong.
