GMZ500-GMZ501-100100- 705 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 .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/ $$ GMZ530-100100- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 705 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON... ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... .TODAY...Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots, diminishing to 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 20 knots late this morning and afternoon.
