Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out
60 nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
246 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024

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

Generally light onshore flow and low seas should prevail through
the end of the week. 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 (40 percent) chance of
development into a tropical cyclone over the next seven days. At
this time for our area, 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.
