Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1248 PM PDT Sun Aug 31 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will be centered NW of the area
through Tue, with associated ridge across the Baja California
waters. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure
and a trough over the Gulf of California will support moderate
NW to N winds across the Baja waters through early next week. A
tropical wave is producing a large area of disorganized showers
and thunderstorms south of southern Mexico. An area of low
pressure is expected to form from this system within the next day
or two, and it is likely to become a tropical depression by the
middle of this week while moving west-northwestward or
northwestward at 10 to 15 mph just offshore of the southwestern
coast of Mexico. There is a medium chance for tropical formation
in the next 48 hours and a high chance of formation in the next 7
days. Regardless of development, expect increasing winds and
seas over the waters off SW Mexico through the middle of the
week.
