.Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
Blanche Bays...
Hurricane Isaias is located in the southern Gulf and is expected
to move north-northeast over the next three days before making
landfall somewhere along the eastern Gulf Coast. Despite not being
in the direct path of this storm, we do expect gusty winds
starting tonight, with a Small Craft Advisory in effect. The rest
of the waters will be under a SCA starting this morning. As we
move into Friday, winds increase further and a Gale Warning looks
likely but is conditional on the path of Isaias.
Waves will steadily rise for the rest of the week, building to
over 14 feet in the outer coastal waters. Near the shore, waves
are forecasted to reach over 5 feet. Along the coast, coastal
flood warnings or advisories are likely starting on Friday and
lasting through the weekend.
