A Gale Warning is in effect from 10 AM Friday to 1 PM Saturday from High Island to the Matagorda Shipping Channel, plus Galveston and Matagorda Bays. Expect seas of 6-9 ft nearshore and 9-13 ft offshore. Bay waters may be very rough. Winds shift to the N at 25-35 kts, with gusts up to 45 kts. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in these conditions.
A Wind Advisory is in effect Friday morning through Saturday afternoon for portions of SE TX. Inland, Wind Advisory valid 7 AM Friday through 1 AM Saturday.

Cool and breezy/windy conditions behind the cold front. These are the coldest temperatures we’ve seen since early May (160+ days ago). North winds 15-20 mph with higher gusts inland. 25-30 mph winds with 35-40+ mph gusts along the coast.
