.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
The center of Tropical Storm Bertha is near the TX/LA border and
still moving west. As such, its influence on local winds/seas will
steadily diminish. Recent wind observations in coastal waters
clearly depict this and most locations are barely seeing Small Craft
speeds. A weak surface ridge will build westward across the northern
Gulf Friday, allowing winds and seas to collapse substantially.
Winds should generally fall to around 10 knots or less, with seas
predominantly 1 to 3 feet.
From Saturday through Wednesday, the surface ridge should drift
south of the coastal waters and establish a more typical summertime
wind regime. Winds will generally increase overnight to around 10 to
15 knots and relax to near 10 knots during the daytime. Seas should
respond similarly, building to around 2 to 4 feet overnight and
subsiding to 1 to 3 feet during the day. Any isolated afternoon or
evening thunderstorm could briefly produce higher winds, locally
rough seas, frequent lightning, and reduced visibility.
