NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-310800-  201 PM CDT Fri Oct 30 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A prevailing easterly wind will remain in place across the waters  through the upcoming weekend and into early next week as a broad  surface high pressure system sits to the north of the area. Winds  will generally remain in the 10 to 15 knot range in the lakes,  sounds, and bays through the weekend and into early next. However,  the open Gulf waters will see slightly higher winds of 15 to  20 knots over this period, resulting in choppier seas of 3 to  6 feet. Smaller craft should exercise caution if venturing out into  the open Gulf waters. This persistent east wind will also lead to  some minor coastal flooding less than one foot above ground level  for east facing shores starting through the weekend. There will be  some passing showers and a few thunderstorms for Saturday and Sunday  as a weak disturbance aloft passes through, but no significant  impacts to maritime activities are expected from the weak  thunderstorms that do develop.    $$
