· Today is looking a lot like yesterday, with dense fog across the area and offshore
· Slow improvement is expected
· Inshore clearing first
· Sea fog will persist throughout the day
· Overnight, dense fog will form starting mid-evening
· The weekend is more of the same
· Sunday into Monday, the upcoming front is likely to stall, giving the fog a boost
· The stalled front could generate rain showers which help keep fog from forming
· Still much uncertainty in the forecast for next week
· Another front is expected Thursday into Friday, giving clear weather for several days
Sabine Pilots:
· No vessel movements yesterday
· Presently 22 ship arrivals on the bar
· 15 of those not scheduled for inbound transits because their berths are occupied
· 17 ships for departure
