.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.
