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

Onshore winds have resumed and will slightly increase as we head
into midweek. There`s a slight chance a decaying front approaches
the coast on Friday, but only a subset of computer models are
indicating that at the present time. In terms of fog potential,
water temperatures have warmed into the mid 60s and will likely
continue a slight increase over the coming days. While patchy fog
cannot completely be ruled out, the combination of warming waters
and higher wind speeds suggest chances are somewhat low at this
time.
