NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ500-GMZ501-252300-  436 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025      .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...    A warm front that was located near the coast has surged north and is  well inland now as a cold front approaches from the west. Scattered  showers and thunderstorms may develop across the coastal waters  early this morning through the afternoon. Shear is quite light and  instability just enough for thunder but not severe. A tightening  pressure gradient has beginning to increase winds west of the MS  River per recent marine obs. With those speeds exceeding 20 knots,  have recently initiated a Small Craft Advisory. This matches up  perfectly with model boundary layer wind forecast. That forecast  also shows those winds dropping off around sunrise as the tight  pressure gradient will be a short wind mostly due to the proximity  of the surface low to the local area and the progressive nature of  this system. The actual front will finally move through the coastal  waters Wednesday morning as deepening comma low rolls into the Great  Lakes Region. The combination of cold air advection over the  relatively warm waters, and the pressure gradient between the high  and low will cause winds to strengthen into the 20-25kt range and  Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed Wednesday afternoon  through at least midday Thursday. As the high settles into the area  later in the week, winds will ease and turn back to the southeast as  the high shifts east of the area by Saturday.    $$
