.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.
