Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60

nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays

950 AM CST Sun Dec 22 2019

 

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

Moderate offshore flow resulting in SCEC condition in the Gulf

waters will continue today due to a low pressure system to the

east and a high pressure system developing over central Texas.

Seas will continue to be around three to six feet through the day

today as well. Winds will decrease tonight as the high pressure

slides out over Southeast Texas. Then expect light winds through

the week with the next potential cold front pushing through next

weekend.
