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

Light to occasionally moderate onshore winds and low seas should prevail
through the end of the week and over the weekend. There will be a daily
risk of isolated showers and thunderstorms generally diminishing through
Saturday. Storms may produce locally higher winds and seas along with
the potential for waterspouts.

Mariners should continue to monitor conditions in the Gulf for next
week, including the Tropical Weather Outlook from the National Hurricane
Center, which currently highlights an area in the Bay of Campeche with
a medium chance (40 percent) of development into a tropical cyclone
over the next seven days. At this time for our area, beginning Sunday
night and continuing into the middle of next week, anticipate stronger
winds and a corresponding increase in seas along with increased potential
for showers and thunderstorms regardless of any tropical development
that may or may not not occur.
