NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-242300-  437 AM CST Mon Nov 24 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    Broad surface ridge centered over the Ohio River Valley is steadily  moving eastward. As it does so, offshore winds will be rotating  around to east and then southeast through the early morning hours.  Farther west, an upper level low is located near the 4-Corners  region. It will be quickly moving eastward and into the Central  Plains by late in the day today. A surface low will develop in the  vicinity of the upper low and follow its path into OK and KS. The  local pressure gradient will tighten in response to that feature.  Thus, expect the southerly winds to increase to at least Exercise  Caution speeds from west to east over the coastal waters late this  aftn/evn. Models show BL winds peaking in the low 20s around 06Z on  Tuesday and quickly falling off to 15kts or less by mid morning  Tuesday. May need to issue a short term Small Craft Advisory for  open Gulf waters. 48 hours after that, another (stronger) cold front  will push through the region. The upper trough looks to be much  deeper and broader which will likely translate to stronger winds  that persist longer than 12 hrs.    $$
