.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Onshore winds will continue through the weekend as an upper level
disturbance moves through the area. This system will bring showers
and thunderstorms on Saturday that could produce locally heavy
rainfall and gusty winds. The onshore flow on Saturday will be
borderline caution criteria but the seas climbing to 5 to 6 feet
in the offshore waters will likely lead to caution flags being
issued. The flow becomes offshore on Monday continuing through
Tuesday then onshore flow returns midweek.

.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Onshore winds will continue through the weekend as an upper level
disturbance moves through the area. This system will bring showers
and thunderstorms on Saturday that could produce locally heavy
rainfall and gusty winds. The onshore flow on Saturday will be
borderline caution criteria but the seas climbing to 5 to 6 feet
in the offshore waters will likely lead to caution flags being
issued. The flow becomes offshore on Monday continuing through
Tuesday then onshore flow returns midweek.
