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

Onshore winds in the 8-15 kt range and 2-3 foot seas are in the
forecast through the end of the week. Rain chances will decrease
as we head into the midweek time period as drier air filters into
the area. Later in the week, rain chances increase again as a
disturbance approaches from the east. NHC continues to monitor
the northeast and north central Gulf for some potential tropical
development in the coming days. Mariners are advised to check the
forecast for the updates due to uncertainties regarding the
tropical disturbance.
