.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Sea fog will come to an end today as a cold front pushes off the
coast. Look for the boundary to push through the bays between
roughly 11 am and 1 pm, 20 nm offshore between 2 pm and 4 pm, and
beyond 60 nm offshore before sunset. Moderate north winds are
expected as it passes, but wind speeds and seas significantly
increase overnight and into Friday. Winds will gradually diminish
and veer to the east and southeast this weekend. The next front is
expected on Tuesday.
