Hazardous marine condition(s):
Dense Fog Advisory
GMZ500-GMZ501-082300-
437 AM CST Thu Jan 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
Fog will be highly likely and dense in sections of the Miss River
Thu morning. Some coastal locations along the Miss Sound could also
see this Thu morning. The fog will not lift quickly and could remain
into mid to late morning.
High pressure dominating the Gulf will slide northeast and this will
cause the winds to increase and become more southerly Thursday.
Moderate onshore flow will continue through Friday night until a
cold front moves through Saturday with a window of strong offshore
winds. There will likely need to be some headlines behind the cold
front with either an SCY or SCS needed. Rain chances will begin to
increase Thursday however, Friday and Friday night into Saturday
morning will have the greatest potential for rain with the best
chance of thunderstorms some likely strong Friday night and early
Saturday.
One last impact to mention. With days of onshore flow prior to the
cold front we will have a rather well set up fetch out of the south.
With winds quickly veering around to the north-northwest immediately
behind the cold front there will be a window of what is called
confused seas. The greatest potential appears to be in the outer
waters (20-60nm) and west of the mouth of the MS River.
