.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Fog areas are beginning to expand in the bays.

Light south to southeast winds and low seas are expected much of
the week. Prolonged periods of dense sea fog is likely across the
southern parts of the bays and nearshore waters through the end of
the week. Fog will be densest and most widespread during the
evening through mid morning hours each day. During the afternoon
hours, there has been some improvement in the bays. Some spots,
especially along the nearshore waters, may see little to no
improvement in visibility during the daytime hours. Mariners
should plan for some extended periods of reduced visibilites and
associated navigation hazards. Sea fog could come to an end by
Sunday evening at the earliest, but it may take till early next
work week for these rounds of sea fog to come to an end.
