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

A cold front continues to very slowly drift further into the area
with onshore flow remaining in place in advance of the front. A
series of low pressure systems will pass north of the coastal waters.
There is the potential for patchy fog nearshore early this morning,
especially in areas where the rain has tapered off. A cold front will
move through late Sunday allowing high pressure to finally build
over the northern Gulf for the start of the new week.
