.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 LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON, KEEPING
A DAILY RISK OF SEA FOG IN THE FORECAST. DUE TO ONGOING DENSE MARINE
FOG AND ELEVATED PROBABILITIES OF FOG PERSISTING, THE DF.Y WAS
EXTENDED INTO NOON TOMORROW. BRIEF PERIODS OF INCREASED VISIBILITIES
WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR ALL MARINE ZONES THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER.
A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT
FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY. THIS WILL ASSIST WITH CLEARING THE FOG, HOWEVER WITH
ELEVATED OFFSHORE FLOW AND GUSTS PREDICTED, A SC.Y WILL BE LIKELY
AND A GL.A MAY BECOME NECESSARY.
