   GMZ500-GMZ501-020600-  1111 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    Changes since last update: Added Small Craft Advisory for GMZ575 and  577 in effect through noon Monday. Exercise caution for all waters  expect MS sound and Lake Pontchartrain/Maurepas from Noon Monday  through 9PM Monday night.    New: Small Craft Advisory in effect for all waters 9PM Monday  through 3PM Tuesday.    Tonight, a recent frontal passage has introduced gusty wind at  around 18-22kts from the NE, which will persist overnight into  Monday morning ahead of the next developing surface low over the  western Gulf. As this low drifts northeast, it'll cross gulf waters  providing a round of heavy rain and thunderstorms primarily from  Monday afternoon through early Tuesday morning. In any one storm,  waterspouts, winds <34kts and locally higher waves/seas can be  expected. As this low passes, confidence on how strong winds will  remain outside of thunderstorms remains in question. There is now  exercise caution headlines as the low passes, but could be upgraded  to advisory if conditions warrant. Then, as the low passes early  Tuesday to the NE, strong NW winds will increase across waters at  around 15-20kts, with the 2nd round of Advisory headlines in effect.  Waves/seas will respond reaching around 5-7ft in this time frame  mainly for Gulf waters, 3-5ft for protected waters. High pressure  builds into the region mid-week, with winds and waves/seas calming  down, but still expecting another system to impact the region  Thursday and Friday, with increasing winds and shower/thunderstorm  activity expected.    $$
