.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
A broad area of high pressure will keep conditions over the waters
relatively benign the next couple days. Winds will be light at
10 knots or less and seas will remain below 2 feet. The seabreeze
cycle will lead to some variability in wind direction near the
coast, and a few thunderstorms could fire up in relation to this
seabreeze/landbreeze cycle. Any storms will be short-lived and will
produce locally gusty winds and lightning. A weak cold front is
still expected to slip into the waters Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Winds will turn northeasterly and increase to 10 to 15 knots in the
wake of this weak front. Thunderstorm activity will be a bit more
widespread as the front moves through, and a few stronger storms
with high wind gusts could develop. By Thursday and Friday, the
front will dissipate and a return to a prevailing southeast wind is
expected. However, the pressure gradient over the northern Gulf will
tighten up as a low forms over the western Gulf and a broad high
remains centered over the Southeastern states. This will push winds
into the 15 to 20 knot range by the end of the week and seas will
increase to 3 to 5 feet.
