 .Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
 60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
 Blanche Bays...
 
 Offshore winds will strengthen heading into this evening as a cold
 front sweeps across the waters from northwest to southeast. The
 greatest winds are expected over the offshore Gulf waters, where
 sustained winds of 25-35 kt and gusts up to 40 kt will be possible
 along with seas up to 7-11 ft. A Gale Warning is in effect for these
 areas for tonight through Saturday morning as a result, with a Small
 Craft Advisory for the coastal lakes and bays where wind speeds will
 not be as strong. While winds decrease from these more hazardous
 levels Saturday afternon and evening, they will remain elevated
 through Sunday morning, especially over the offshore Gulf waters.
 Small craft advisories have been issued through Sunday morning and
 may need to be extended later into Sunday, particularly for our
 eastern marine zones.
