 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
 
 With high pressure well to our northeast and a deepening surface low
 along the lee side of the Rockies is helping build winds across the
 local waters. A second surface low will develop Saturday and deepen
 as it moves across the Plains and into the Upper Mississippi Valley
 on Sunday. Additionally, the high over the western portions of the
 Atlantic will slide south and become centered east of the Carolinas.
 This should maintain or even strengthen the gradient across the area
 leading to additional strong southerly winds. This alone will keep
 Small Craft Advisory conditions in place through the weekend.
 Furthermore, the prolonged or persistent southeast or southerly
 flow will produce a large fetch across the Gulf with seas likely
 higher than typical as a swell begins to develop. It will also lead
 to some minor coastal flooding concerns.
