.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO THE MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM
INCLUDING GALVESTON AND MATAGORDA BAYS.
MODERATE EAST AND SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS, BUT LIKELY BEGIN DIMINISHING AND BECOMING MORE
NORTHEASTERLY TOWARD MORNING AS A WEAK BOUNDARY PUSHES OFF THE
COAST. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THOUGH THE BULK OF STRONGER
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE SITUATED IN THE GULF, MARINERS IN THE BAYS
SHOULD STILL BE COGNIZANT OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SCATTERED STORMS
CLOSER TO THE COAST. WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN TO A MORE SOUTHEAST
DIRECTION EARLY IN THE WEEK AND INCREASE IN SPEED. THE NEXT
POTENTIALLY MODERATE DISTURBANCE AND ASSOCIATED STORM COMPLEX IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE UPPER TEXAS COAST FROM THE WEST TUESDAY
NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY.
