GMZ500-GMZ501-080900- 231 PM CST Fri Nov 7 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Southeasterly winds on the southwest flank of surface high pressure in the Mid-Atlantic will continue to pivot to southwesterly through the day Friday and into Saturday. We`ll also see scattered showers and a couple isolated, weak storms along the coast primarily during the morning to afternoon hours on Friday due to the return flow of moisture, then diminishing towards sunset. By Sunday, a strong cold front swings through marine waters introducing strong offshore/northerly flow with gusts in excess of 25-35 knots, especially for Gulf waters, and waves/seas responding to around 7- 10ft for 20-60nm zones. Small Craft Advisory and the potential for Gale conditions remain possible, primarily late Sunday through early Tuesday. By midweek, high pressure settles into the region allowing for winds and wave/seas to relax. $$ GMZ530-080900- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 231 PM CST Fri Nov 7 2025 .THIS AFTERNOON...South winds 5 to 10 knots.
