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

Surface high pressure remains located in the Gulf will yield
light winds and calm seas. Conditions will remain on the calm
side through most of the work week. The NHC has placed a 30%
invest area in the eastern Gulf and West Atlantic along FL. This
area may expand to broader coastal trough yielding heavier
precipitation along the central and eastern Gulf coast and
nearshore waters, however, no tropical development is forecast
locally over the next 7 days.
