GMZ500-GMZ501-160700- 156 PM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR PASCAGOULA TO ATCHAFALAYA RIVER OUT 60 NM... The last bit of benign marine conditions will occur tonight but by tomorrow afternoon/evening conditions will become extremely impactful. A strong cold front will move through late Friday and Friday night, bringing strong northerly winds and rapidly building seas. Gale conditions are possible across all of the coastal waters and with that we have issued a Gale Watch beginning tomorrow night and continuing through Saturday evening. Some locations like the tidal lakes and near shore waters will likely be able to come down to a Small Craft Advisory Saturday at some point but strong winds will persist into Sunday. Winds will gradually turn easterly Sunday and slack off some but there is a good chance that headline may be needed into the beginning to the new work week. $$ GMZ529-160700- Lake Maurepas- 156 PM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026 ...GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING... .THIS AFTERNOON...East winds 5 to 10 knots.
