.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Moderate northeasterly winds will modestly increase and veer more
easterly through the day today, with an attendant increase in
seas. This will lead to conditions in which small craft will need
to exercise caution through at least the evening. Conditions are
expected to degrade enough, that any additional increase in winds
or seas over what is expected will necessitate a small craft
advisory. Some low rain chances may begin to creep into the
picture as early as today, but more shower and thunderstorm
activity is anticipated Sunday into Monday. Tuesday looks to
feature some fairer weather and a brief amount of offshore flow,
but onshore winds return quickly, followed shortly by the next
window for showers and storms.
