@0715:

Strong to severe storms will impact the Houston/Galveston area today with the potential of producing winds of 35 knots and rough seas.

High risk tow configurations such as multi-barge (3 or more) and/or with high/low couplings (empties with loads) or with a boat that does not have enough horsepower outside of ideal conditions should conduct a risk assessment prior to making their transit if deemed necessary.

All mariners should consider these conditions before beginning or continuing their transits.

Very respectfully,

Vessel Traffic Service
