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

High pressure will remain across the local waters through much of the
week allowing for favorable marine conditions across the region.
Winds have transitioned to a more southeasterly direction as the
high moves east of the region. Going into the weekend, the pressure
gradient will tighten again leading to the need for Cautionary
Headlines or Small Craft Advisories.
