406 FZUS54 KLIX 280527 CWFLIX Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service New Orleans LA 1127 PM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 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-GMZ501-281800- 1127 PM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 .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. $$ GMZ530-281800- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 1127 PM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING... .REST OF TONIGHT...Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots.
