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

Easterly to southeasterly winds at less than 15 knots are
expected while we stay positioned on the southwest flank of the
Bermuda High over the southwest Atlantic today. Higher chances of
storms are expected today as a weak easterly wave passes by. A few
of these storms could be strong and cause significant wind shifts,
high winds and seas, frequent lightning, and waterspouts. Winds will
become lighter and more variable as high pressure moves overhead
Wednesday through Friday.
