.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.
Stronger winds around 20 knots with gusts to 30 knots have been
observed across the lower portions of Galveston Bay and near the
adjacent coastal waters. Waves heights in the lower bays are
reportedly near 2-3 feet. While winds and seas should improve
later tonight, becoming calmer around or after midnight, mariners
should exercise caution as these hazardous conditions persist.
Rain chances taper off tonight, though storm chances will
continue throughout the week. An extended fetch of moderate
southeasterly winds around midweek will likely lead to another
round of increased seas, especially in the offshore Gulf waters.
Water levels are expected to remain near 3.0 feet above Mean Lower
Low Water during high tide cycles through at least the end of the
work week.
