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

A stalled frontal boundary will continue to bring scattered
showers and thunderstorms to the region through the holiday
weekend. Some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing
locally heavy rainfall. Winds outside of storms will generally be
light and variable. However, locally stronger winds in the
vicinity of thunderstorms should be expected. Additionally, the
environment will continue to be supportive of isolated
waterspouts, and we may see more on top of those observed during
the day on Saturday. While rain chances should dwindle inland,
daily isolated to scattered showers and storms may persist over
the Gulf.
