GMZ500-GMZ501-270930- 342 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... High pressure is currently centered just north of the Bahamas and extends westward across the Gulf of Mexico. Gradient flow around that ridge will keep local winds from the south to southwestward today. As a surface low tracks east across the Central Plains, the local pressure gradient will tighten a bit. Winds will respond by increasing to 15 to 20 knots for 12 hours or so, mainly overnight tonight over the open waters, necessitating a Small Craft Exercise Caution Headline for the coastal waters. A cold front associated with the surface low will attempt to push into the Gulf but will likely stall before doing so. $$ GMZ530-270930- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 342 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024 .TONIGHT...South winds 10 to 15 knots.
