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

A surface front will remain nearly stationary right along the
coast and with a weak pressure pattern over the coastal waters,
mainly light westerly to offshore winds and low seas are expected.
There will still be a chance for showers and thunderstorms south
of front. By mid week, lower pressure will form over the Plains
with a weak surface high over the northern Gulf. This will allow
for light onshore winds to return.
