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

Weak high pressure at the surface over the northeast Gulf will
ridge across into the coastal waters. This will allow for mainly
light southerly winds to continue along with low seas. A weak
disturbance aloft will keep a daily chance of scattered showers
and thunderstorms in the forecast.
