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

East to northeast winds will remain in the 15-20 knot range today,
which has prompted a new Small Craft Advisory for the offshore
waters and an extension of the caution in effect for the nearshore
waters. Elevated tide levels and a high risk of rip currents can
also be expected through this early-week period. A cold front
should push off the coast on Tuesday, bringing light to moderate
northeasterly flow through mid week. Winds decrease and slowly
veer southeasterly as high pressure intrudes into the area. No
rainfall is expected over the course of the week.
