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

Moderate to occasionally strong east winds and seas of 3 to 5
feet are expected to persist through at least this evening, and
potentially even deeper into the night. Small craft will need to
proceed with caution. Shower and thunderstorm activity is
anticipated to gradually increase into Monday. While showers and
storms will be possible both today and tomorrow, it currently
appears that more activity will be over land today, and a bit more
potential for storms over the waters on Monday. Tuesday should
give us a short stretch of fairer weather and a brief amount of
offshore flow, but onshore winds return quickly Tuesday night.
This will be followed shortly by the next window for showers and
storms in the mid-to-late week.
