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

A broad area of high pressure will remain over the eastern Gulf
through the weekend and into early next week. This will allow for a
persistent onshore flow of between 10 and 15 knots through the
period with locally higher gusts. A cold front will move through the
Tuesday night and Wednesday. This front will shift winds to the
northwest by Wednesday night. A few thunderstorms could accompany
the front as it moves through on Wednesday, and this could lead to
some locally higher winds and seas in close vicinity to the storms.
