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

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. Frequent gusts to near gale-
force will be possible west of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Seas will also build in response to the strengthening winds with
seas of up to 12 feet expected in the offshore waters by Tuesday and
Wednesday. A gradual decrease in wind speeds and seas is expected on
Thursday and Friday as the low in the Bay of Campeche moves into
Mexico and weakens.
