Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
259 AM CDT Sun Sep 29 2019
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Moderate to strong onshore winds are expected through early next
week. SCEC conditions in place very early this morning are
expected to gradually improve deeper into the morning but may only
improve enough for the caution flags to be dropped on the bays
today. The persistent onshore fetch will increase tide levels
along the Upper Texas Coast, increasing potential for rip currents
and minor coastal flooding. Periods of scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms can be expected, with the best chances
looking to be along the coast and over the waters farther down the
coast towards Matagorda Bay.
