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

The potential for sea fog to impact the coastal waters will remain
in place through the week as a persistent southeast wind of 10 to
15 knots ushers in a much warmer and more humid airmass over the
nearshore waters. Fog conditions are possible tonight, mainly over
the western waters. 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.
