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

The main marine concern during at least the first half of the
forecast period will be the threat for thunderstorms that could
produce locally higher winds and seas. Forecast confidence is a bit
lower by late in the weekend, with an approaching cold front. The
current wind forecast would indicate generally offshore flow by late
Sunday afternoon for most or all of the waters. If the front makes
it well into the Gulf early next week, that may justify Small Craft
Exercise Caution headlines by Monday or Tuesday.
