.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
A surface high will build and become centered over the northeastern
United States tomorrow and then the Mid-Atlantic region Sunday. At
the same time, a broad low pressure system will begin to deepen over
the Bahamas and Greater Antilles. This will tighten the pressure
gradient across the northern Gulf with easterly winds picking up
tonight across the open Gulf waters. These strong easterly winds
will slowly build over the protected, near shore waters, and sounds
tomorrow. Winds will become sustained near 20 knots with frequent
higher gusts and a Small Craft Advisory for the outer waters
beginning tonight and then expanding to all waters except for lakes
Pontchartrain, Maurepas, and Salvador by late Saturday morning
remains in effect. These headlines will likely remain up through the
weekend and possibly into next week.
