PMZ001-182115- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 209 AM PDT Fri Oct 18 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Gale force winds are expected in the Gulf of Tehuantepec this evening through Sat night, and seas of 10-12 ft will accompany these winds. Strong winds will persist into Sun night before diminishing briefly on Mon. Winds will restrengthen to strong to near gale force again late Mon through the middle of next week. Strengthening low pressure in the northern Gulf of California will promote fresh to strong S to SW winds this morning before turning to the N this afternoon. Associated seas of 4-7 ft are expected in this region. Winds in this area will diminish this weekend. Increasing NW swell will promote locally rough seas offshore of Baja California Norte today into Sat morning. Troughing will become established this weekend over the Gulf of California, and moderate to locally fresh NW winds are expected from the Gulf of California southward to offshore of Michoacan and Guerrero Sun into next week. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is expected to form by the middle part of next week well offshore of southwestern Mexico. Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression could form during the middle to latter portion of next week as the system moves westward at 10 to 15 mph. $$ PMZ009-182115- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 209 AM PDT Fri Oct 18 2024 .TODAY...N of 31N, W winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming variable winds less than 5 kt.
