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

Southeast winds of 5 to 10 knots will persist through Saturday
evening, but a cold front will gradually shift winds to the north
Saturday night into Sunday. By Sunday night, these northerly winds
will strengthen to 15 to 25 knots and then linger into Monday. At
least Exercise Caution, possibly Small Craft Advisory, will be
needed. By Monday night, high pressure moving over the waters will
allow the winds to relax back to 10 to 15 knots and also shift winds
to the northeast and eventually southeast. These southeast winds of
10 to 15 knots will then remain in place into the middle of next
week.
