GMZ500-GMZ501-082300- 437 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... Light southwesterly winds will remain in place across the waters today as the Mid Atlantic surface high shifts offshore to the east. By Sunday, a strong cold front will push across the coastal waters, bringing strong northerly/offshore winds of 20-25 knots behind it. The strongest of the winds looks like it will be from midday Sunday through Monday night. These winds will also promote 9-11 feet waves in our outer waters during that same timeframe. Needless to say, at least Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed for Sunday through Monday night. A surface high starts filtering into the area on Tuesday and light winds and calmer seas return with it. $$ GMZ530-082300- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 437 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025 .TODAY...Southwest winds around 5 knots.
