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

Winds are becoming southeasterly today as well as increasing in
speed...allowing for building seas as well. Small Craft Advisories
are in effect for all waters. Shower and thunderstorm chances
increase ahead of a strong cold front that should be pushing off
the coast after midnight, around 2am, and across the Gulf waters
through the late night and early Sunday morning hours. A few
storms may be on the stronger side. Moderate to strong offshore
flow and elevated seas will persist in the wake of the front. An
upper level disturbance is forecast to push overhead Sunday night
and Monday bringing another chance of showers and isolated
thunderstorms to the waters.
