.SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM...



A large area of high pressure will remain situated over the western

Atlantic through the week and into the weekend. This will maintain

light to moderate onshore flow through the time. Winds will bounce

around headline criteria over the next 24 to 36 hours with sustained

winds right around 15 kts, especially closer to the coast. Exercise

Caution headlines will be in effect again overnight for the waters

west of the mouth of the river along with Breton and Chandeluer

Sound. As for showers and thunderstorms daily isolated to scattered

light showers will be possible each day however the bull of the

coverage will remain inland. With any thunderstorm locally hazardous

winds and waves can be expected. One last hiccup is maybe some very

minor coastal flooding impacts, mainly around the Waveland area

given the high astronomical tides and persistent southerly winds.

Tuesday midday may be the peak of any tidal impact's.
