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

Marine conditions are currently in a relative state of improvement
on the coastal waters, though the emphasis here is very much on
the word relative. Winds and seas are still high enough that small
craft need to exercise caution on the nearshore Gulf waters, and a
small craft advisory remains in effect on the offshore Gulf
waters. Widespread rain and isolated thunderstorms are also still
occurring, mainly over the upper coastal waters - Galveston Bay
and adjacent portions of the Gulf out 60 nm and beyond into the
open Gulf.

This evening, look for winds to become more northerly and
increase again to 20 to 25 knots with gusts to 30 knots as the
coastal low moves off to the east. The Small Craft Advisory on the
offshore waters expands back to include all coastal waters through
tonight and into early Tuesday morning before winds and seas
begin to subside. Advisory-level conditions are expected to
continue on the Gulf waters through the morning while winds remain
above 20 knots, and on the offshore 20-60 nm Gulf waters into the
early afternoon before seas there are finally expected to fall
below 7 feet.

Despite a short respite Tuesday through Wednesday morning, the
unsettled weather pattern will mean another bout with rain,
storms, and potentially even periods of sea fog later in the week
as we deal with another coastal low and frontal passage.
