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

Persistent north-northeast winds of 15 to 25 knots and rough seas
ranging from 3 to 5 feet in the tidal lakes and sounds to 5 to
8 feet in the open Gulf waters will be the rule through Saturday.
Overall, these conditions are in response to a low off the coast of
Florida and a high centered over the Southern Plains. These rough
conditions will keep a small craft advisory in place for all of the
waters through Saturday evening. Sunday will see the high over Texas
become more centered over the region. As this occurs, winds will
quickly drop to around 10 knots and turn more variable. These
lighter winds and gradually improving seas will persist through
Monday. A weak front will slip through the waters on Tuesday, and a
more persistent northerly wind of 10 to 15 knots will take hold
behind the front for both Tuesday and Wednesday.
