Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
902 AM PDT Fri Sep 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge will remain in place and fluctuate
into the weekend. Gentle to moderate northwest to north winds
over the Baja California offshore waters will increase to fresh
speeds this evening and continue through late Sat night, then
diminish to gentle to moderate speeds afterward into Mon night.
Ongoing moderate to fresh SW winds in the northern Gulf of
California will diminish to gentle speeds Sat and then prevail
through Tue night. An active monsoon trough will support
moderate to fresh W to SW winds across the outer SW Mexican
offshore waters tonight through Tue night. Looking ahead, an
area of low pressure could form well to the southwest of the
southwestern coast of Mexico this weekend. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some slow development of this
system, and a tropical depression could form by the middle part
of next week while it slowly moves generally northward.
Regardless of development, strong to near gale force winds and
rough seas are forecast to affect the outer offshore waters SW of
Cabo San Lucas starting Mon night and continuig beyond mid week.
