National Weather Service Forecast

 

A disturbance in the Bay of Campeche is expected to develop into a tropical depression later this

afternoon and move westerly towards northern Mexico.  The focus is on the north side of the system

that will likely bring Galveston heavy rainfall totaling up to 4”-8” beginning late tonight through

late Wednesday.  These rain rates along with the higher tides/surge (2’-4’), could cause ponding

in and around the port complex. Port police will provide real-time updates.   The area is expected

to observe wind gusts up to 35-40 mph, possibly higher during stronger storms.

 

U.S. Coast Guard Port Condition- None at this time. Stay Alert and Prepare
