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

We will be monitoring the progress of a line of storms tracking
across southern Louisiana Thursday morning which could create
gustier winds and higher seas than currently advertised in the
forecast. Monitor the latest forecast for further updates if
confidence increases for impacts. Otherwise, persistent southeast
flow of around 10 knots and seas of 1 to 3 feet can be expected
through the weekend on the southwest periphery of a surface high
dominating the Southeastern CONUS.
