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

North winds continue to diminish as the day progresses, though it
will take a while for seas to subside offshore. Winds will swing
back around to the southeast tonight. Another coastal trough is
forecast to take shape Wednesday night...bringing periods of rain
and isolated storms through Thursday. Should there be any extended
breaks in the rain, which appears fairly unlikely, some sea fog
development is a possibility. As the trough passes to our east
Thursday afternoon, winds will shift back to the north. Some upper
level disturbances will continue to pass overhead Thursday night
through Friday night keeping rain chances in the forecast before
clearing out on Saturday.
