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

High pressure over the area will shift to the east today, 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 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.
