Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
340 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
High pressure moving over the region will bring mainly quiet weather
with light onshore flow expected today. A retrograding upper level
trough combined with daytime heating may bring isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours
through the weekend. Coverage may increase towards the end of the
weekend and into the start of the work week. Onshore flow increases
next week as the region gets sandwiched between high pressure over
the Gulf of Mexico and a surface low located to the west.
