Synopsis for High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel out 60
nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
348 AM CST Sat Feb 29 2020
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
High pressure moving off to the east and low pressure deepening
over the Southern Plains will allow for the return of slowly
strengthening onshore winds today and tonight. Caution flags or
advisories may be needed this evening for the coastal waters.
We
are continuing to monitor for possible sea fog development for as
early as Sunday night or most likely Monday night. There will also
be a potential for elevated swells given the forecast of a
lengthening SE fetch. A cold front will cross SE Texas on late
Tuesday or early Wednesday. While the timing of this feature is
still uncertain, showers and thunderstorms should develop just
ahead and along the front itself.
