.Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
Blanche Bays...

Surface high over the eastern US will ridging down from the
northeast into the northern Gulf. Meanwhile, a stalled frontal
boundary and lower pressures will be found over the middle Gulf.
Interaction between these features will allow for a light to
modest easterly flow for the remainder of the week into the
weekend along with light to modest seas. Drier air aloft will also
continue to move over the northern Gulf that will keep any
significant shower activity out of the forecast.
