nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays

.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Easterly winds will be slow to decrease offshore but should do so
this morning. Seas in offshore areas should also decrease but
there will at least be some leftover easterly swell.
Another round
of showers and isolated thunderstorms is expected this afternoon.
A warm front will drift northward toward the coast during today
and tonight setting the stage for a return of sea fog as warm air
moves over the cooler shelf waters. The threat of sea fog should
persist Tuesday night through Saturday morning when the next front
is forecast to push off the coast.
