GMZ400-040700- 103 PM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 .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 area situated over the northern Gulf, while weak and meandering at times, will result in light, variable winds and low seas through the start of next week. Upper level weakness then moves overhead in line with expansive surface high situated over the eastern seaboard. This will bring about consistent onshore flow beginning in the early to mid next work week. Daily scattered showers to return to the forecast this weekend. $$ GMZ430-040700- Sabine Lake- 103 PM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 .TONIGHT...Southwest winds around 5 knots.
