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

The pressure gradient is expected to relax a bit this afternoon, but
hazardous conditions will continue through at least Monday
afternoon. A surface high pressure looks to finally filter into the
area Monday evening and into Tuesday, so expect winds to shut down
at that time and return to benign marine conditions for Tuesday.
Winds and seas are likely to increase again Wednesday into Thursday
as another frontal system approaches.
