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

A surface low in the western gulf will move east through the coastal
waters Sunday causing winds and seas to rise briefly before the low
moves eastward. This should allow winds and seas to improve going
into the start of the new workweek. High pressure will build into the
northern gulf causing winds to become light and variable by mid
week.
