.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.

.Synopsis For High Island to the Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 NM
including Galveston and Matagorda Bays.

Areas of sea fog will continue to impact our waters this
afternoon. Sea fog coverage should initially decrease early this
afternoon, before gradually becoming more widespread by either
later this afternoon or evening. The general pattern will favor 
periods of dense fog through this weekend, especially at night and
during the morning. However, directional shifts in the winds may 
result in longer breaks in the fog on Friday and the weekend. A 
strong cold front pushes offshore late Sunday night, bringing 
strong winds and building seas in its wake. The chance of gale 
force wind gusts continues to increase, particularly over the 
Gulf. Sustained gales cannot be ruled out in the offshore waters.
