Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60

nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays

341 AM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

 

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

Moderate onshore winds will gradually diminish the next couple

days as surface high pressure builds in from the east and the

pressure gradient relaxes. A surface trough will makes its way

east to west across the waters this weekend. Expect winds to back

to the northeast in advance along with increasing chances of

showers and thunderstorms as this occurs. As the trough passes,

southeast winds will resume as we head into early next week.
