 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
 
 Strong high pressure across much of the Plains will keep
 northeasterly winds over the coastal waters. Meanwhile, the winds
 aloft will be from the southwest keeping an overrunning pattern that
 will bring scattered showers across the Gulf waters through the
 daytime hours Thursday.
 
 Marine conditions will slowly deteriorate through the remainder of
 the week. Depending on the eventual track and strength of Hurricane
 Isaias, winds across the open waters are expected to rise to tropical
 storm or hurricane force driving heavy seas and shift from easterly
 to northerly and northwesterly Friday into Saturday before easing.
