NOAA Weather

.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...

Southerly winds should decrease later this morning and allow for

seas to slowly decrease. Winds increase again Saturday in response

to a storm system moving across Texas. This may allow for another

brief period of exercise caution conditions. After a second storm

system on Sunday, a cold front is expected to push off the coast

early Monday. Sea fog will be possible starting later today down

along the coastal bend of Texas and begin to develop up the Upper

Texas Coast towards Galveston by Friday morning. Patchy sea fog

may persist over the weekend.

Southerly winds should decrease later this morning and allow for

seas to slowly decrease. Winds increase again Saturday in response

brief period of exercise caution conditions. After a second storm

system on Sunday, a cold front is expected to push off the coast

early Monday. Sea fog will be possible starting later today down

along the coastal bend of Texas and begin to develop up the Upper

Texas Coast towards Galveston by Friday morning. Patchy sea fog
