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

East winds of around 20 knots will begin to ease Saturday afternoon
and will remain below advisory criteria at 10 to 15 knots through
Sunday afternoon. Sunday night through Tuesday will see more
hazardous conditions for small craft return as a low pressure system
passes through the coastal waters. Northerly winds will increase
back above 20 knots and seas will rise back to 5 to 7 feet in the
open Gulf waters. As high pressure briefly builds back over the
waters Tuesday night into Wednesday, winds will turn more easterly
and weaken to between 10 and 15 knots. Seas will also subside back
to 1 to 3 feet as these calmer winds take hold.
