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

A weak front will continue to slowly push off the coast. The
boundary will stall offshore today into midweek, bringing a period
of variable to northerly winds at 5-10 kt to the area. Once the front
washes out, winds become predominantly easterly situated south of a
high pressure system. Locally higher winds and seas will be possible
with any storms that develop. The pressure gradient will gradually
build with easterly winds of 10-15 knots by the end of the week.
