Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1256 PM PDT Thu Sep 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The Pacific ridge will remain in place and fluctuate
into the upcoming weekend. Gentle to moderate northwest to north
winds over the Baja California offshore waters will increase to
fresh speeds Fri evening and continue through late Sat night,
then diminish to gentle to moderate speeds afterward into early
next week. Variable winds less than 15 kt are expected across the
Gulf of California, except for pulses of moderate west gap winds
across southern portions and fresh southwest gap winds north of
30N each evening and night through Fri. Looking ahead, an area
of low pressure could form well to the southwest of the
southwestern coast of Mexico late this weekend. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some slow development of this
system thereafter as it slowly moves generally northward.
