NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-041400-  712 PM CST Wed Dec 3 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    Weak low pressure will be developing along the Texas coast this  afternoon/evening and slowly drift east-northeast Thursday along the  coast. This will tighten the pressure gradient especially east of  the Mississippi River delta. Winds will increase with moderate to  strong east-southeast to easterly winds. This will have multiple  impacts with Small Craft Advisory conditions expected Thursday into  Friday but the increase in onshore winds will combine with the  increasing tidal cycle at the end of the week likely leading to at  least some minor coastal flooding. Main concern will be east facing  shores of Orleans, St Bernard, Plaquemines, and far southeastern St  Tammany. In addition coastal Hancock around Waveland will also deal  with some minor coastal flooding Thursday night through Friday  morning. Winds will relax and return to offshore late Friday and  Friday night but another weak surface low will develop Saturday  moving across the coastal waters late Saturday bringing another  brief period of moderate to strong winds.    $$
