Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
221 PM PDT Sat Oct 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Gale force winds are expected in the Gulf of Tehuantepec
through early Sun Morning, then fresh to strong winds will persist
through at least Tue. Seas are forecast to build to 14 or 15 ft
tonight within the strongest winds. Ridging will prevail over the
offshore waters while a trough will meander between the Gulf of
California and Baja California. This pattern will promote gentle
to moderate NW winds across the offshore forecast waters of Baja
California, and moderate to fresh NW winds across the central and
southern parts of the Gulf of California through Tue. Looking
ahead, after tropical cyclone Nadine dissipates over southern
Mexico, its remnants are expected to move into the eastern Pacific.
The combination of the remnants of Nadine and influences from
the Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind event are forecast to result in
the formation of a new low pressure system off the coast of
southwestern Mexico in a couple of days. Additional development
is expected after that time, and a tropical depression is likely
to form during the early to middle part of next week while the
system moves westward at about 10 to 15 kt away from the coast of
Mexico.
