A developing winter coastal disturbance prompted the United States Weather Bureau to issue storm warnings from Brownsville Texas to New Orleans and from New Orleans to St Marks Florida. The system centered near Galveston Texas earlier and was moving east northeast with forecasts of strong coastal winds and rain.
