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

Elevated winds near 20 knots and seas up to 7 feet have developed in
the wake of this morning`s storms. Small craft should remain in
harbor until conditions improve later tonight. Afterwards, light
to moderate onshore flow and seas of 3 to 6 feet should prevail
into the upcoming work week. Caution flags may be needed at times,
especially during the overnight hours. Rounds of showers and
storms will be possible over the weekend with rain chances
tapering off next week. Some of these storms could become strong
to severe, producing damaging wind gusts and locally elevated
seas. Persistent onshore flow will also bring a high risk of rip
currents over the next several days.
