Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
801 AM PDT Thu Apr 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A strong late season gap wind event is producing N
gale-force winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec. On-going high
pressure north of the area will continue to funnel these gales
through Sat, dropping to near gale Sat night, and finally
dissipating on Sun night. Elsewhere, winds are moderate or weaker
through tonight. From Fri into Sat night, developing low
pressure over the U.S. Great Basin will force fresh to strong S
winds over the N Gulf of California. Looking ahead, a weak cold
front will be moving across the waters west of Baja California
Norte on Sat and Sun. In the wake of the cold front, building
high pressure should cause fresh to strong NW winds west of the
Baja California peninsula Sun night into Mon.
