Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
347 AM CST Sun Feb 9 2020
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Moderate southeasterly flow will lead to seas building to 4 to 6
feet in the coastal waters and up to 7 feet in the off shore
waters today. Thus caution flags have been issued for the near
shore waters and a small craft advisory has been issued for the
off shore waters through midnight tonight.
The warm moist onshore
flow will also lead to patchy fog beginning to form this afternoon
in the Bays and along the coast. The coverage and thickness of
the fog will increase tonight and persist through midweek. Rain
chances will fluctuate through the next few days as a series of
upper level disturbances track near the area. A cold front should
pass off the coast Wednesday night bringing an end to the showers
and fog.
