Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Abbeville, LA

DISCUSSION
(Tonight through next Friday)
Issued at 1150 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

Surface high pressure centered over the Northern Plains and upper Midwest will gradually move southeast and build into the forecast area through the weekend. The low level northeast flow will bring a dry continental air mass to the forecast area to provide low humidity with mild daytime temperatures and cool nights.

Meanwhile, an upper level low over northwest Old Mexico will get caught up in the southern jet and move eastward into early next week. However, low levels look to remain on the dry side, so this system is only expected to bring extensive high level cloudiness.

By mid-week, a northern stream short wave will deepen as it rounds an upper level low over Ontario and dives into the southeast US.
This will bring a Canadian cold front across on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Gulf never really opens up ahead of this front with moisture values rather shallow and limited. Therefore, may be a few light showers will be possible ahead of the front. However, any sort of significant or "wetting" rainfall looks unlikely at this time.

This front will reinforce the dry conditions into the end of the week.

Surface high pressure over the MidWest will move southeast and ridge into the coastal waters over the weekend. A moderate northeast flow is expected at times with the potential for near 20 knots and a small craft advisory Sunday morning west of Cameron. Winds will remain offshore Monday and Tuesday however decrease as high pressure settles over the region. No rain is expected into early next week as a dry air mass will be in place.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 1150 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

Northeast low at the surface will bring in a dry continental air mass to the fire weather region into early next week. This will allow for low minimum afternoon relative humidity values between 35 and 40 percent today, then in the 30 percent range or lower on Sunday and Monday. Vegetation in many locations remain rather dry and rain is not expected for the next few days. However, wind speeds look to be light, and at this time will hold off on any fire danger statement for today, and will reevaluate for Sunday and Monday as we get closer to those days.
