nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
337 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
The passage of a weak disturbance will increase daytime shower
and thunderstorm coverage across all local waters today. Caution
flags for the offshore waters through the afternoon. This
persistent onshore fetch will weaken through the week as eastern
surface high pressure expands into the northwestern Gulf. Rain
chances will increase over the weekend as western Gulf upper
ridging weakens and general troughiness develops in its wake.
