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

High pressure will still have a hold on the area today but it is
pushing farther to the east and by Friday night will push off the
coast into the Atlantic. At the same time a series of surface low
will develop over the Plains and push northeast through the weekend.
Winds have already transitioned to southeast and will remain out of
the southwest through Sunday. The pressure gradient will tighten with
moderate to strong winds at times beginning as early as Friday and
headlines possibly as early as Friday and then expected through the
weekend.
