.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
With high pressure well off to our northeast and a deepening surface
low along the lee side of the Rockies is leading to a tightening
of the pressure gradient across the coastal waters. A second surface
low will develop tomorrow and deepen as it moves across the Plains
and into the Upper Mississippi Valley Sunday. In addition the high in
the Atlantic will slide south and become centered east of the
Carolinas. This will keep if not strengthen the gradient across the
area leading to additional strong southeast winds. This alone will
keep small craft advisory conditions in place beginning today and
through the weekend but with 72 to maybe 96 hours of persistent
southeast winds there will be a large fetch across the Gulf with seas
likely higher than typical for the winds we will see. It will also
lead to some coastal flooding concerns.
