.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 building 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, with 72 to maybe 96 hours of
persistent southeast or southerly winds there will be a large fetch
across the Gulf with seas likely higher than typical as a swell
begins to develop. It will also lead to some coastal flooding
concerns.
