218 FZUS54 KLIX 170527 CWFLIX Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service New Orleans LA 1127 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 Pascagoula to Atchafalaya River out to 60 NM Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves...along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves. GMZ500-GMZ501-171800- 1127 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Surface high pressure will generally remain east of the local area through early week. This will keep flow oriented onshore and fairly light through mid week. Late week, the pressure gradient will tighten as a surface low develops over West Texas and moves through the southern portion of the Central Plains. Onshore winds will strengthen in response to this. Guidance suggests winds of around 15- 20 knots in open Gulf waters Thursday and Friday which would subsequently bring seas to 3-6 feet. Model consistency has not been the greatest with this late week system, but regardless an increase in flow seems likely. $$ GMZ530-171800- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 1127 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 .REST OF TONIGHT...Southwest winds around 5 knots.
