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

High pressure off the Atlantic Coast and low pressure over the
southern Gulf will tighten the pressure gradient again over the
coastal waters. Small Craft Exercise Caution headlines will be in
effect during the day for northeasterly winds 15 to 20 knots. A
frontal boundary moving into the waters tonight and Thursday will
necessitate Small Craft Exercise Caution headlines or Small Craft
Advisories most or all of the waters by Thursday morning. Those
conditions are likely to continue through at least Friday. Some
improvement in wind and wave conditions could occur on Saturday over
the protected waters, but perhaps not until Sunday over the outer
waters.
