Synopsis
Persistent cold air advection in the wake of the recent frontal passage will maintain periods of elevated northerly winds across the coastal waters through the weekend. Winds over all marine zones will generally remain in the 15 to 20 knot range, supporting Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions. A more impactful period of hazardous marine conditions appears increasingly possible beginning Sunday afternoon and continuing through at least the middle of next week. As the approaching shortwave supports surface low development over the Gulf, high pressure building southward from the north will maintain a strong pressure gradient across the northern Gulf Coast. Depending on the eventual track and intensity of the low, sustained winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 6 to 10 feet will be possible across the open Gulf waters Monday, with higher gusts potentially approaching or exceeding gale force. Thus, have issued a Gale Watch for waters south and west of the MS River. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all other marine areas due to the forecast persistent pressure gradient between the surface low and high pressure to the north. May not see much appreciable relief until the end of next week.
