GMZ500-GMZ501-301300- 701 PM CDT Mon Sep 29 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Offshore flow will continue as weak low pressure slowly works towards the southwestern Gulf. This will continue to produce light to moderate offshore flow over the next few days. Overall, not anticipating a lot of impacts through midweek, but a few showers and thunderstorms may begin to develop over the coastal waters Tuesday and Wednesday. Winds, seas/waves, and rain chances will begin to increase late in the week. Headlines will likely be needed and could be needed as early as Thursday night. With broad high pressure centered across the northeast and mid Atlantic and wedging southwest towards the Gulf coast and weak low pressure over the Bay of Campeche the pressure gradient will tighten and strong easterly winds could set up across the northern Gulf for multiple days. $$ GMZ530-301300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 701 PM CDT Mon Sep 29 2025 .TONIGHT...Southeast winds around 5 knots, becoming south late this evening, then becoming northwest after midnight.
