.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...

Cold front has moved into the coastal waters before 5z and high
pressure is quickly building in behind it. The pressure gradient
will tighten across the coastal waters as weak persistent low
pressure over the southeastern Gulf and large area of high pressure
to the north and northeast dominate the region over the next few
days. Winds will be quick to ramp up overnight tonight with the
winds east of the MS delta first responding and then the western
waters early in the morning. Winds will slack off some during the
midday and afternoon hours today but will begin to increase once
again Thursday evening with strong northeast winds continuing
through Saturday morning. Winds will generally be around 15 to
20 kts with frequent gusts abv 20 kts and with that the SCS
headlines already in place will be upgraded to an SCY through the
morning hours today for all of the coastal waters and then another
SCY will be in place for Thursday evening through Saturday morning
for all of the waters again. Winds will finally relax during the day
Saturday as high pressure builds in more. /CAB/
