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

An increasing pressure gradient between low pressure in the Gulf and
high pressure over New England will bring increasingly hazardous
conditions to the waters through the weekend. As the low deepens, a
prolonged easterly wind of 15 to 25 knots will develop today and
persist through Sunday. The combination of wind waves and swell from
a long fetch across the eastern Gulf will produce rough seas of 5 to
8 feet in the open Gulf waters and 2 to 5 feet in the sounds and
tidal lakes. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all of the
open Gulf waters and the tidal sounds, as well as Lake Borgne from
midday through Saturday evening due to these expected rough
conditions. Conditions will gradually improve Sunday into Monday.
