A strong cold front has pushed through south Texas this morning. The cold front will continue to move through the Gulf waters. Strong high pressure will settle into the area today and tonight following this front. Strong winds can be expected behind the front today. North winds at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 mph will be common place through late this afternoon.
Caution is advised on area lakes.
Winds on land will decrease late today. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the bays and waterways out 60 nm into the Gulf. Mariners can expect north winds at 20 to 25 knots with gusts to gale force. Seas will build to 9 feet this morning and subside to near 4 feet by late Wednesday. These factors will contribute to the coolest temperatures of the season so far.
