Please refer to the Special Features section for further details
on Tropical Storms Priscilla and Raymond.

Tropical Storm Priscilla is near 25.9N 115.2W at 8 AM PDT, and
is moving north at 4 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 40 kt with
gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1000 mb.
Showers and tstms associated with this system are affecting the

Farther south and affecting the SW Mexican waters and the
entrance of the Gulf of California, Tropical Storm Raymond is
near 18.3N 104.9W at 8 AM PDT, and is moving northwest at 13 kt.
Maximum sustained winds are 50 kt with gusts to 60 kt, and the
minimum central pressure is 998 mb.

Outside the direct influence of the tropical storms, light to
gentle winds are in the offshores from Chiapas to Oaxaca, Mexico,
except for moderate to locally fresh N gap winds in Tehuantepec.
Seas are moderate to 7 ft over this region. Otherwise, gentle to
locally moderate NW winds are along the Gulf of California with
slight seas to 3 ft, except to 5 ft at the entrance of the Gulf.

For the forecast, Priscilla will weaken to a remnant low near
26.5N 115.1W this evening, and dissipate Sat morning. Raymond
will move to 19.6N 107.0W this evening, 21.4N 109.2W Sat morning,
23.2N 110.3W Sat evening, weaken to a remnant low near 25.6N
110.6W Sun morning, and dissipate Sun evening. Otherwise, strong
gap winds will pulse across the Gulf of Tehuantepec tonight
through Sat night. Another strong gap winds event is forecast to
begin Tue morning.

...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA,
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Scattered moderate convection is affecting most of the offshores
of Central America this morning. This monsoonal convection is
also supporting moderate to locally fresh SW winds across the
Panama and Colombia offshores. Mainly moderate southerly winds
are ongoing between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Elsewhere,
N of the monsoon, winds are light to gentle. Seas are moderate to
7 ft in mixed southerly and northwest swell.

For the forecast, the monsoon trough will provide a focus for
showers and thunderstorms for northern waters into early next
week. South of the trough, generally moderate to locally fresh SW
winds and moderate seas will prevail.

...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A surface ridge anchored by a 1020 mb high near 28N142W extends
across the subtropical waters W of 125W and into the tropics to
16N. Between the ridge and the monsoon, gentle to moderate NE to
E winds are present along with moderate seas to 6 ft. Moderate to
locally fresh southerly winds and moderate seas are occurring
south of the monsoon trough. Elsewhere, light to gentle winds and
moderate seas prevail.

For the forecast, high pressure should build across the waters
north of the monsoon trough during the weekend into early next
week. A new set of northerly swell, bringing rough seas, is
forecast to propagate to waters north of 25N and west of 125W by
the end of the weekend into early next week. Farther south, SW
swell will support combined seas to 8 ft south of the monsoon
trough between 100W and 110W early next week.
