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

A stationary front will remain over the region through this evening
before eventually moving southeastward as a cold front on late
tonight and Saturday. Thundertorms along this boundary, especially
overnight and Saturday morning will bring the threat of locally
strong winds, large hail, and higher seas to the waters. Breezy
southwesterly winds south of the front will subside and shift out of
the northwest in wake of the cold frontal passage Saturday afternoon.
High pressure builds in Sunday and remains over the waters through
early next week.
