Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
351 AM CST Wed Feb 6 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Warm and moist air flowing over the cooler shelf waters of the Gulf
of Mexico will produce periods of dense sea fog into Thursday.
Slightly stronger winds may bring periods of slightly better
visibilities, but probably will not completely eliminate the fog
threat. A cold front will push through the region Thursday
afternoon and bring an end to the fog. Small craft advisories
will be required for strong offshore winds and rough seas behind
the front.
