.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.
Dense fog this morning should decrease in coverage as the morning
progresses. However, patchy fog lingering into the afternoon is
possible, especially near the coast and over the nearshore
waters. The risk of fog initially increases this evening, before
increasing south winds overnight potentially limit the fog risk.
Confidence in the fog forecast after midnight is low. The next
weather concern will be a cold front that is expected to push
offshore Friday night, bringing strong winds and building seas in
its wake. Small Craft Advisory level conditions expected this
weekend.
