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

Although the pressure gradient over the coastal waters will weaken
slightly today and tomorrow, winds will still remain elevated at
near 20 knots through Saturday morning over the open Gulf waters.
For the lakes and sounds, slightly lower winds of around 15 knots
are expected. Given these conditions, the small craft advisory has
been extended in time for the open Gulf waters through midday on
Saturday. The pressure gradient will further weaken Saturday night
and Sunday as a weak frontal boundary approaches the region. The
front is projected to push through the waters and stall over the
northern Gulf Sunday night. Colder air will move back into the area,
and winds will once again increase into small craft advisory range
from Sunday night into Monday. At the same time, a deepening low
pressure system will pass through the waters Monday into Monday
night, and a surge of much drier and colder air into the area in the
wake of the low will keep small craft advisory conditions in place
through at least Tuesday morning. Winds and seas should then
gradually decrease Tuesday night into Wednesday as a surface high
builds over the area.
