SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM

A surface ridge centered over the western Gulf will track eastward, crossing Florida on Friday. Local winds have become southwesterly. Expect a modest increase in wind speeds as a developing surface low to the north tightens the local pressure gradient. Small Craft Advisories will be in effect for most waters from mid morning into Saturday. A cold front will move through the waters on Saturday, but a progressive surface pattern will quickly result in the tight pressure gradient relaxing which will lend to subsiding winds and seas.
