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

No significant wind or wave conditions are forecast in the coastal
waters through the weekend. Prevailing winds will remain below
10 knots and seas will run 2 feet or less. Thunderstorm activity
will continue to be the primary concern for mariners through the
period. These thunderstorms will develop primarily in the morning
hours over the offshore waters before pushing inland on the
seabreeze in the afternoon hours. Any storms that form will produce
locally higher winds and seas along with the potential for a few
waterspouts.
