including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Light south to southeast winds and low seas are expected much of
the week. Prolonged periods of dense sea fog is likely across the
southern parts of the bays and nearshore waters through the end of
the week. Fog will be densest and most widespread during the late
evening through mid morning hours each day. Some spots, especially
along the nearshore waters, may see little to no improvement in
visibility during the daytime hours. Mariners should plan for some
extended periods of reduced visibilites and associated navigation
hazards. Sea fog could come to an end by Sunday evening at the
earliest, but it make take till next week for these rounds of sea
fog to end.
