Galveston's brown water turned blue again this week. A meteorologist explains why it...
"You want the winds to be pretty light," he said."You don't want to have a ton of rain coming down the rivers, and you don't want to have a really active Gulf with a lot of wind and a lot of wave acts, and that is definitely much more of a summer thing than spring, fall, and winter."
