Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
121 AM PDT Wed Sep 25 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An area of low pressure, partially associated with the
remnants of John, is producing a large area of shower and
thunderstorm activity along and offshore of the coast of southern
Mexico. A 1001 mb low is located within the area of low pressure
near 16N103W. The shower and thunderstorm activity is showing
signs of organization, and environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development. A tropical depression is
now likely to form in the next day or two, as long as the system
remains over water. Otherwise, fresh to strong southwest to west
winds will continue through Fri, mainly south of 16N between 95W
and 105W. Winds will slowly diminish below strong speeds on Sat,
and diminish further on Sun. Periods of near gale force winds
will be possible through Thu. Rough to locally very rough seas
are expected off the coasts of Guerrero and Oaxaca through at
least Fri before they begin to slowly subside. Elsewhere, mostly
fresh northwest winds and moderate seas will be over the
remainder of the Mexican offshore waters through Sat, with the
exception of the Gulf of California, where winds will remain
light to gentle.
