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

A cold front makings its way across Texas is expected to pass off
the coast between 2am-6am Sunday. Expect strong north winds and
building seas to arrive shortly after the front passes. There is
only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over the Gulf
waters along the front. Small Craft Advisory conditions are
expected on all area waters for much of this morning, becoming
gales on the Gulf towards mid- day and through the night. The
strong north winds will also generate low water conditions late
Sunday and Monday on both Galveston Bay and Matagorda Bay, with
more severe low water conditions anticipated on Galveston Bay,
where a low water advisory has been issued. These conditions are
expected to be an issue at low tide on Sunday, but also in upper
portions of the bay and the Houston Ship Channel through Monday`s
low tide cycle as well.
