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

High pressure over the area today will shift to the east on Sunday,
and winds will turn more persistent from the south-southeast. These
winds will strengthen to small craft advisory levels on Monday in
response to a broad area of low pressure developing in the Bay of
Campeche, and these stronger winds of 20 to 30 knots will then
persist through the middle of the week. Seas will also build in
response to the strengthening winds with seas of up to 10 feet
expected in the offshore waters by Tuesday and Wednesday.
