 .Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
 60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
 Blanche Bays...
 
 A slow-moving front will stall along the coast on Friday, causing
 heavy rain and the occasional thunderstorm. Gusty winds and low
 visibility should be expected with this system. On Saturday, the
 front will be pushed farther offshore, and north winds will
 rapidly increase. A Gale Warning will be needed for western
 coastal waters, and it could be extended farther east in later
 forecast packages. All other coastal waters, including lakes and
 bays, will be under a Small Craft Advisory. Waves will peak around
 8 feet in the outer coastal waters. By Sunday, winds will
 decrease below advisory levels. Due to a high tide cycle, a Low
 Water Advisory doesnt seem necessary at this time, but please
 continue to watch the forecast for changes. By the start of next
 week, conditions will be benign, with winds below 15 knots from
 the south and waves around 4 feet.
