SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM
Light southwesterly winds of around 10 knots or less and seas of 2 feet or less will be in place through Wednesday. Wednesday night and a surface low will begin to take shape and deepen over the OK and TX panhandles and move across the southern and central Plains during the day. At the same time high pressure dominating the Gulf will slide northeast and this will cause the winds to increase and become more southerly. Moderate onshore flow will continue through Friday night until a cold front moves through Saturday with a window of strong offshore winds. There will likely need to be some headlines behind the cold front with either an SCY or SCS needed. Rain chances will begin to increase Thursday however, Friday and Friday night into Saturday morning will have the greatest potential for rain with the best chance of thunderstorms some likely strong Friday night and early Saturday.
One last impact to mention. With days of onshore flow prior to the cold front we will have a rather well set up fetch out of the south. With winds quickly veering around to the north-northwest immediately behind the cold front there will be a window of what is called confused seas. The greatest potential appears to be in the outer waters (20-60nm) and west of the mouth of the MS River.
