.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...

Surface high pressure is currently centered just north of the
Bahamas and extends westward across the entire Gulf of Mexico.
Through this weekend, gradient flow around that ridge will keep
local winds blowing south to southwestward. As a surface low tracks
east across the Central Plains tonight into Sunday with cause the
local pressure gradient to tighten. Winds will respond by increasing
from closer to 10 knots to more in Exercise Caution speeds of 15 to
20 knots for 12 hours or so. A cold front associated with that
surface low will attempt to push into the Gulf but will likely stall
before doing so. That`ll break down the wind field by quite a bit
mid week.
