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

Persistent low seas and light to occasionally moderate winds
driven by the daily seabreeze and landbreeze cycle are expected to
remain in place for the next several days. However, there will be
a continued daily risk of showers and thunderstorms. Locally heavy
thunderstorms are likely. Stronger winds and rougher seas can
occur in the vicinity of the thunderstorms. In some cases,
thunderstorm winds can extend far from the associated storm.
