 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...
 
 As high pressure shifts east of the coastal waters, winds will
 gradually become southeasterly and then southerly over the next few
 days. There will be little change in the surface pressure pattern
 through much of this week. A cold front will approach the area over
 the weekend, with some uncertainty whether it reaches the northern
 gulf waters.
