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

High pressure from the gulf into the Atlantic will continue to
produce a light to moderate easterly to southeasterly fetch at 10 to
15 kt over the local waters today. A cold front is expected to move
through the region bringing northerly winds around 25kt Sunday into
early next week. Small Craft Advisories have been posted for these

remain elevated. Wednesday, winds will shift to a more SE direction
and ease a bit to around 10-15 kt, possibly remaining that way for
the remainder of the week.
