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

Onshore flow will continue throughout the weekend and well into
next week. Towards the beginning to middle of next week, expect
increased winds and seas that could reach caution flag criteria at
times. This will bring an increased risk of rip currents along
with elevated water levels during times of high tide that could
potentially result in minor coastal flooding. Chances for showers
and storm return near the middle of next week as the next weather
system approaches.
