 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
   GMZ500-GMZ501-031100-  437 PM CST Fri Jan 2 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A surface ridge centered over the western Gulf will track eastward,  crossing Florida on Friday. Local winds have become southwesterly.  Expect a modest increase in wind speeds as a developing surface low  to the north tightens the local pressure gradient. Small Craft  Advisories will be in effect for most waters from mid morning into  Saturday. A cold front will move through the waters on Saturday, but  a progressive surface pattern will quickly result in the tight  pressure gradient relaxing which will lend to subsiding winds and  seas.    $$
