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.
