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

Small craft advisories will continue today. Strong to severe
thunderstorms are approaching the coast and should be moving
offshore during the early and mid morning hours. Look for strong
winds and variable directions along with chaotic seas as this
occurs. A long fetch of southeast winds has been in place for
several days and although winds will generally be lower into
midweek, seas should remain on the elevated side for a good
portion of the week. Periods of unsettled weather are possible,
though better shower and thunderstorm chances should be situated a
bit further inland for much of the week.
