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

Surface high pressure will generally remain east of the local area
through Wednesday. This will keep flow oriented onshore and fairly
light. Thursday and Friday, the pressure gradient will tighten as a
surface low develops over West Texas and moves through the southern
portion of the Central Plains. Onshore winds will strengthen in
response to this. Guidance suggests winds of around 15-20 knots in
open Gulf waters Thursday and Friday which would subsequently bring
seas to 3-6 feet. Some periods of dense fog could also impact the
tidal lakes in the early to mid-morning hours on Wednesday and
Thursday.
