Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...East winds will become northeast behind a cold front late Sunday.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Secure outdoor objects.

⚠ Beach Hazards Statement · until Mon 12:00 PM

* WHAT...High risk of rip currents. Minor coastal flooding possible around high tide times late Sunday into Monday morning. * WHERE...Gulf-facing beaches, including the Matagorda Peninsula, Brazoria County beaches, Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. * WHEN...Through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Strong winds and elevated seas will drive wave runup further up the beach than is typically normal. There is a risk of minor coastal flooding along the low lying areas from the Bolivar Peninsula to Surfside around high tide times late Sunday into Monday.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

Reading the calendar: ↑ moonrise and ↓ moonset are local times. Stars are the solunar rating; “c” is the tide coefficient (20–120). Moon overhead and underfoot times are the major feeding periods, and moonrise and moonset are the minor ones; see each day on the tide pages.
