Houston, Galveston, Texas City, & Freeport, TX - Daily Port Update
NOAA
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Sea fog restricting visibility to under a mile will be the main
marine hazard going into early next week. Southeasterly winds will
push more Gulf moisture over cooler shelf waters. This will assist
in the creation of more widespread dense fog through Monday. Sea
fog may persist through the middle of the week. Stronger onshore
winds ahead of an approaching late week cold front may aid in
mixing out the fog.
