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

A long period swell from Hurricane Rafael in the south central
Gulf of Mexico will continue to push into our upper Texas Coast
Gulf waters today. Rafael is expected to meander around the
central Gulf while weakening over the next several
days. Elevated swells and tide levels will be about the only
impact to the local area. Otherwise, a weak front and associated
showers and thunderstorms will make it toward the coast overnight
and Saturday morning then dissipate. Dry conditions and moderate
northeast winds will then prevail into early next week.
