Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out
60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
405 PM CDT Sun May 12 2024

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

Moderate to occasionally strong east winds and seas of 3 to 5
feet are expected to persist through at least this evening, and
potentially even deeper into the night. Small craft will need to
proceed with caution. Shower and thunderstorm activity is
anticipated to gradually increase into Monday. While showers and
storms will be possible both today and tomorrow, it currently
appears that more activity over the waters is expected on Monday.
Tuesday should give us a short stretch of fairer weather and a
brief amount of offshore flow, but onshore winds return quickly
Tuesday night. This will be followed shortly by the next window
for showers and storms in the mid-to-late week.
