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

High pressure will start to become more dominant over the waters
early this week, allowing easterly to southeasterly winds to relax a
bit to between 10 and 15 knots. Seas will also decrease to 2 to
4 feet as the fetch relaxes. This brief respite in rougher
conditions will end on Wednesday as another low in the Gulf develops
and gradually pushes to the west. Northeasterly winds will increase
back to near advisory levels in the offshore waters and seas will
increase to 4 to 6 feet from Wednesday through Friday and perhaps
beyond. As for tidal lakes and nearshore waters, cautionary
headlines are likely, but cannot rule out the need for Small Craft
Advisories even in a general weaker offshore flow regime.
