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

A weak frontal boundary gradually moving southward across
Southeast Texas, will continue to bring scattered to widespread
showers and thunderstorms to the region through Monday. Some of
the stronger storms will be capable of producing locally heavy
rainfall. Winds outside of storms will generally be light and
variable. However, locally stronger winds in the vicinity of
thunderstorms should be expected. Additionally, the environment
will continue to be supportive of isolated waterspouts today.
While rain chances should dwindle inland, daily isolated to
scattered showers and storms may persist over the Gulf through
mid-week.
