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

The potential for sea fog to impact the coastal waters will increase
through the week as a persistent southeast wind of 10 to 15 knots
ushers in a much warmer and more humid airmass over the cooler
nearshore waters. Fog conditions could start as early as tonight,
but they will be more likely from Tuesday night through Thursday
night. This fog may turn dense at times and impact navigational
operations. Outside of the fog concern, the lighter winds will keep
seas in check at 4 feet or less.
