PMZ001-130945- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 235 PM PDT Sat Sep 12 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure (EP97) located several hundred miles southwest of the southwestern coast of Mexico have become a little less organized this morning. Environmental conditions appear conducive for development, however, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next couple of days while it moves generally west-northwestward to westward over the central and western portions of the eastern Pacific basin. This system has a high chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next 48 hours. A Gale Warning is in effect with this system. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, winds strong winds with rough seas are expected to the south and southwest of Clarion Island through Mon. Elsewhere, and away from the impacts of T.S. Norbert and Invest EP97, a ridge will build across the offshore waters of Baja California, bringing moderate to locally fresh NW to N winds Sun into early next week. Expect fresh winds across the northern Gulf of California early next week due to the pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over the Colorado River valley. Looking ahead, fresh to strong N to NE gap winds will pulse again in the Tehuantepec region by the middle of next week, building seas to 8 or 9 ft. $$ PMZ009-130945- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 235 PM PDT Sat Sep 12 2026 .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 to 15 kt.
