.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
A cold front will be passing through the Gulf water through the
early afternoon. Drier air behind the front will help dissipate
the fog that developed this morning. Isolated showers could form
along this boundary as it moves through the Gulf. Winds will also
pick up behind the front, and are expected to be strong enough to
prompt caution flags for this afternoon and into the night.
Onshore winds are set to return Sunday. Another front may pass
through the region Monday night with a better chance of showers
with it and a moderate to strong offshore flow developing in its
wake.
