NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-110800-  201 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    Through the workweek high pressure will dominate the coastal waters,  centered just off to the east while the ridge axis basically  stretches west across the Gulf Coast. This will lead to rather light  winds through the forecast with winds over the near shore waters  dictated by diurnal shifts with a sea breeze during the afternoon or  a land breeze at night. The outer waters will also see light winds  through the forecast, but winds will likely remain southerly to  southeasterly. Thunderstorms will be possible each day; however,  coverage will likely be more isolated to widely scattered. That  said, with any thunderstorm activity expect lightning, heavy rain,  gusty winds, and a few waterspouts.    $$
