.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Sea fog will come and go, but when fog is in place, it is
expected to be dense during nighttime and morning hours over the
bays and adjacent nearshore waters. An early Sunday cold front
will finally put a definitive end to this sea fog event. The front
will also increase chances for showers this weekend, and perhaps
allow for an isolated thunderstorm near the front.
