GMZ500-GMZ501-060600- 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... A weak surface low has moved to the east with offshore flow now over all of the coastal waters but the front will stall just to the south of the coastal waters. Winds have already relaxed over much of the area and will continue to remain light through the remainder of today and this evening. As the stalled front front drifts back to the north tonight winds will be a little more chaotic but still light. We finally see a stronger cold front push through Sunday night with moderate to possibly strong offshore winds developing. SCS or SCY headlines will likely be needed for portions of the coastal waters overnight and into Monday. High pressure quickly builds back into the area Monday and Monday night. $$ GMZ530-060600- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 .REST OF TODAY...North winds 5 to 10 knots.
