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

Weakening surface pressure gradient has allowed east to southeast
winds to relax a bit to between 10 and 15 knots. Seas have also
decreased to 2 to 4 feet. This will be brief as a backdoor cold
front sliding in Wednesday will bring the the return of stronger
winds and rougher sea state. A low then develops in the southern
Gulf and gradually pushes to the west. Northeasterly winds will
increase to near advisory levels in the offshore waters and seas
will increase to 4 to 6 feet from Wednesday night through Friday and
perhaps beyond. As for tidal lakes and nearshore waters, cautionary
headlines are likely, but cannot rule out the need for Small Craft
Advisories by Thursday or Friday.
