GMZ500-GMZ501-210300- 857 AM CST Thu Nov 20 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... A series of fast moving low pressure systems will pass north of the waters over the next several days. Weak trailing cold fronts will slide toward the waters over this period and stall out along the coast. The first of these systems will bring stronger southerly winds of 15 to 20 knots and slightly higher seas to the waters Thursday night into Friday. Scattered showers and a low threat of thunderstorm will accompany this weakening front on Friday. Winds will calm over the weekend to less than 10 knots as a high pressure system over the eastern Gulf becomes more dominant over the waters. However, another low pressure system will once again push winds and seas higher on Monday and Tuesday. Southerly flow should increase back into the 15 to 20 knot range over this period. Another round of showers and a few thunderstorms will also develop over the waters as this next storm system moves through. $$ GMZ530-210300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 857 AM CST Thu Nov 20 2025 ...DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM CST THIS MORNING... .TODAY...East winds 5 to 10 knots.
