.DISCUSSION...
A prolonged easterly wind of 15 to 25 knots will persist through
Sunday as the waters remain sandwiched between a broad low in the
Gulf and a high pressure system to the north. The combination of
wind, waves, and swell from a long fetch across the eastern Gulf
will produce rough seas of 6 to 10 feet in the open Gulf waters
and 3 to 6 feet in the sounds and tidal lakes. A Small Craft
Advisory will remain in effect for all of the open Gulf waters and
the tidal sounds, as well as Lake Borgne through Sunday evening
due to these expected rough conditions. Conditions will gradually
improve early next week as high pressure becomes more centered
over the area.
