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

High pressure will remain in control of the region through mid-week
aiding in the reduction in shower/storm chances with light onshore
flow. Another front should then stall along the coast on Thursday
bringing an increased risk of thunderstorms with gusty winds back to
the waters which will continue into the upcoming weekend.
