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

A developing surface low near the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles will
start to tighten the pressure gradient and cause winds to come back
out of the east and southeast. Winds will begin to pick up with small
craft advisory conditiions beginning as early as this evening for
some areas and tonight the rest of the coastal waters. The next cold
front will move through late Sunday or very early Monday morning
bringing widespread showers and strong to severe thunderstorms across
marine areas. Thereafter, high pressure will build back over the
gulf once again for the first to middle part of next week. Small
Craft Advisories and maybe even Gales will be needed after the front
passes through with headlines needed well into the start of the new
workweek.
