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

Moderate east northeast winds will modestly increase and veer
more east throughout the day, with an attendant increase in seas.
Small craft will need to exercise caution through at least the
evening. Conditions are expected to degrade enough, that any
additional increase in winds or seas over what is expected will
necessitate a small craft advisory. Some low rain chances may
begin to creep into the picture as early as today, but more shower
and thunderstorm activity is anticipated Sunday into Monday.
Tuesday looks to feature some fairer weather and a brief amount of
offshore flow, but onshore winds return quickly, followed shortly
by the next window for showers and storms.
