035 FZUS54 KLIX 141038 CWFLIX Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service New Orleans LA 437 AM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 Pascagoula to Atchafalaya River out to 60 NM Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves...along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves. GMZ500-GMZ501-142300- 437 AM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Dense fog will continue to be the primary concern in the coastal waters this morning as light southerly flow persists. However, an approaching low pressure system will allow the onshore flow to increase dramatically throughout the day Saturday and winds will exceed 20 knots by the late evening hours. These strong winds will continue into Sunday evening before finally easing as high pressure settles over the region. As these stronger winds persist, seas will build to over 7 feet and turn rough resulting in hazardous conditions to smaller craft. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday evening. The remainder of next week will see lighter winds and calmer seas return as a broad surface high pressure system dominates the Gulf. $$ GMZ530-142300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 437 AM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 ...DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CST THIS MORNING... ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING... .TODAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming southeast 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots.
