NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-132300-  534 AM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A broad surface high centered over the area will keep benign  conditions in place across the waters through Tuesday with light and  variable winds of less than 5 knots and seas of less than 2 feet  expected. A few showers or storms will pop up in the morning hours  with some locally higher winds and waves, but these impacts will be  short-lived each day. An increasing pressure difference will develop  on Wednesday and continue through the end of the week as a broad low  forms south of the waters and the high becomes more centered over  Mississippi and Alabama. This will cause winds to increase to at  least 20 to 25 knots with gusts near gale force for the latter  portion of the week. Seas will respond to these higher winds and  increase to 8 to 10 feet from Wednesday onward. Some minor coastal  flooding may also impact east facing shorelines over this period.    $$
