GMZ300-020030- 701 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 .Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM including Galveston and Matagorda Bays. The remains of a stalled front will continue to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the region today. Some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Since expectations are that the better potential for storms today will be closer to the coast, these storms could impact the coastal waters as well, particularly the bays and nearshore Gulf. Winds outside of storms will generally be light and variable, while becoming erratic and gusty in and around any storms. Rain chances decrease significantly by the middle of the week, while winds and seas are expected to remain rather light/low. $$ GMZ335-020030- Galveston Bay- 701 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 .TODAY...Northeast winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming east late.
