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

High pressure will remain across the local waters through much of the
week allowing for favorable marine conditions across the region.
Winds have transitioned to a more southerly to southeasterly
direction as the high moves east of the region. Heading into Friday
and more so the weekend, the pressure gradient will tighten again
as multiple surface lows will develop and move northeast across the
Plains this weekend. This will cause winds to respond and a good
chance that some headlines will be needed.
