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

Offshore observations are still showing low end but areas of small
craft advisory conditions, especially east of the mouthy of the MS.

The pressure gradient will gradually weaken tonight but whatever is
left of the surface low will work NNW to N towards the Louisiana
coast and this will keep modearate to strong onshore flow over most
of the coastal waters overnight. Wednesday the pressure gradient
should weakn enough to allow most if not all flags to be dropped
ahead of an approaching cold front. The cold front will come through
Wednesday night and bring offshore winds early Thursday.
