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

A cold front is currently moving southward through the outer
waters. Thunderstorms along this boundary will bring the threat of
locally strong winds, large hail, and higher seas. Southwesterly
winds south of the front will subside and shift out of the northwest
in wake of the cold frontal passage. High pressure builds in Sunday
and remains over the waters through much of next week.
