.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong SE winds will pulse in the northern
Gulf of California later this morning as low pressure deepens
just N of the area. Moderate to fresh SE winds will then prevail
there through Tue night. Pulsing fresh to strong north gap winds
will continue in the Gulf of Tehuantepec through Wed night as a
surface trough is expected to move from the Yucatan Peninsula to
Veracruz for the next several days. Rough seas are forecast in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec through early today. Elsewhere, moderate
or weaker winds and moderate seas will prevail. Winds may freshen
near Baja California by mid-week as the local pressure gradient
