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

Southerly return flow will persist over the area through the week
with high pressure anchored to our east. The pressure gradient
between this high and a storm system over the Great Plains will
tighten a bit on Tuesday, resulting in an increase in winds and
seas and requiring Small Craft Exercise Caution headlines, before
relaxing again on Wednesday.
