Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
443 AM CST Mon Feb 10 2020
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Fog has developed in the Bays and in the near shore waters tonight
and will persist through the next couple of days, although it could
wane for a few hours during the day today in the Bays. Seas
of 6 to
8 feet in the off shore waters has resulted in a Small Craft
Advisory being issued through the noon today. Seas in the near
shore waters will be 3 to 5 feet, so caution flags have been issued
through the morning there.
A cold front will approach the coastline
late tonight into early tomorrow morning before stalling out and
retreating back inland during the day on Tuesday. If it makes it to
the coast it could provide a brief reprieve from the fog in the
Bays. As the front nears the coast it will also bring isolated to
scattered showers. A stronger front will push off the coast
Wednesday morning bringing an end to the fog threat but will usher
in moderate to strong offshore flow on Thursday.
