.Synopsis for Lower Atchafalaya River LA to High Island TX out
60 NM including Sabine and Calcasieu Lakes and Vermilion and Cote
Blanche Bays...
High pressure over the eastern US and a broad area of low pressure
over the Bahamas and Caribbean region is currently resulting in
easterly flow around 5-15 kt over the coastal waters. As the surface
high expands to the south, the pressure gradient will tighten,
resulting in winds increasing to the 15-25 kt range Saturday. A
small craft advisory is now in effect through Sunday morning for
waters from Cameron eastward from 20 to 60 NM offshore, though small
craft are urged to exercise caution across all open Gulf waters.
These headlines will likely need to be extended into Monday or
Tuesday, after which winds and seas should diminish.
