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

Light offshore winds continue early today, but should shift onshore
this afternoon with moisture and rain chances rising into Friday.
Will have to keep an eye out for sea fog across the nearshore waters
and bays beginning on Friday morning at the absolute earliest.
Friday night into Saturday morning is the current time frame where
sea fog conditions are most optimal, though water temperatures
warming just a tad could inhibit sea fog development. If water
temperatures are very slow to recover, the worst of the sea fog may
extend through Saturday night into Sunday ahead of an approaching
cold front. Small Craft Advisories are likely on Sunday behind the
front.
