.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Dense sea fog will impact the local bay and nearshore waters over
the next couple of overnights and mornings with afternoon thinning
and improvement in visibility. East to southeast winds will
strengthen Tuesday into Wednesday in response to a passing Plains
storm system. These higher winds will likely end the areawide
dense fog threat. A cold frontal passage Thursday will veer winds
around to the north with a shot of colder air Friday increasing
north wind speeds.
