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

The gradient between low pressure over the Plains and high pressure
over the southeast US will bring moderate east to southeast winds
and moderate seas into the start of the weekend. Over the weekend,
widespread rain and storms will impact coastal waters, reducing
visibility and causing locally higher winds and waves as a frontal
boundary nears the coast. This front will move out into the coastal
waters early next week with a period of moderate to strong offshore
flow.
