Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory

1132 AM CST Fri Jan 2 2026
.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
A surface ridge centered over the western Gulf will track eastward,
crossing Florida on Friday. Local winds have become southwesterly.
Expect a modest increase in wind speeds as a developing surface low
to the north tightens the local pressure gradient. Small Craft
Advisories will be in effect for most waters from mid morning into
Saturday. A cold front will move through the waters on Saturday, but
a progressive surface pattern will quickly result in the tight
pressure gradient relaxing which will lend to subsiding winds and
seas.
