NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-291800-  1226 AM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    The main marine concern during at least the first half of the  forecast period will be the increasing threat for thunderstorms that  could produce locally higher winds and seas through at least  Saturday. Forecast confidence is a bit lower by late in the weekend,  with an approaching cold front. The current wind forecast would  indicate generally offshore flow by late Sunday afternoon for most  or all of the waters. If the front makes it well into the Gulf early  next week, that may justify Small Craft Exercise Caution headlines  by Monday or Tuesday.    $$
