699 FZUS54 KLIX 011037 CWFLIX Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service New Orleans LA 437 AM CST Mon Dec 1 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-GMZ501-012300- 437 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Changes since last update: Added Small Craft Advisory for GMZ575 and 577 in effect through noon Monday. Exercise caution for all waters expect MS sound and Lake Pontchartrain/Maurepas from Noon Monday through 9PM Monday night. New: Small Craft Advisory in effect for all waters 9PM Monday through 3PM Tuesday. Tonight, a recent frontal passage has introduced gusty wind at around 18-22kts from the NE, which will persist overnight into Monday morning ahead of the next developing surface low over the western Gulf. As this low drifts northeast, it`ll cross gulf waters providing a round of heavy rain and thunderstorms primarily from Monday afternoon through early Tuesday morning. In any one storm, waterspouts, winds <34kts and locally higher waves/seas can be expected. As this low passes, confidence on how strong winds will remain outside of thunderstorms remains in question. There is now exercise caution headlines as the low passes, but could be upgraded to advisory if conditions warrant. Then, as the low passes early Tuesday to the NE, strong NW winds will increase across waters at around 15-20kts, with the 2nd round of Advisory headlines in effect. Waves/seas will respond reaching around 5-7ft in this time frame mainly for Gulf waters, 3-5ft for protected waters. High pressure builds into the region mid-week, with winds and waves/seas calming down, but still expecting another system to impact the region Thursday and Friday, with increasing winds and shower/thunderstorm activity expected. $$ GMZ530-012300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 437 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY... ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON... .TODAY...Northeast winds 10 to 15 knots.
