   GMZ500-GMZ501-032330-  548 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    The backdoor cold front is currently moving through the region and  was almost bisecting the region shortly after midnight. The front  will continues its slow march towards the coast moving off the MS  coast before the latest forecast is out. It will then slide off the  SELA coast just before sunrise. A very brief period of offshore  winds will occur immediately behind the front...brief. By mid late  morning winds will quickly veer to easterly over MS Sound along with  the Sounds and waters east of the Mississippi River Delta and  rapidly increase to Small Craft Advisory conditions. The winds will  finally start to shift more easterly south of the LA coast late  today and increase to Small Craft Advisory conditions late this  afternoon or this evening. The winds are responding to 2 features, a  large area of high pressure which will work down the Appalachians  and into the southeastern US while a weak tropical wave continues to  move northeast across the central Gulf and towards the LA coast by  the end of the week. These two features will keep a tight pressure  gradient in place leading to strong easterly and eventually  southeasterly winds into the weekend. This will lead to prolonged  hazardous marine conditions along with coastal flooding concerns,  especially along the coast east of the Mississippi River delta.    $$
