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

Light northeast winds and lowering seas can be expected for the remain
of tonight. As high pressure moves off to the east, a light onshore
flow returns to the area late Friday then becomes moderate to strong
by the end of the weekend and into the start of next week. Look for
rising seas too. Rain chances increase late Monday ahead of a strong
cold front that will move through the coastal waters late Monday night
or early Tuesday morning. Strong offshore winds and rough waters can
be expected to eventually develop behind this front, especially heading
on into Tuesday night.
