Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
914 AM PDT Tue Oct 1 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Strong showers and thunderstorms are expected to
continue across the area waters from the Gulf of Tehuantepec to
offshore of Guerrero, and are associated with two developing low
pressure centers. Environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for tropical development south of Tehuantepec, and a
tropical depression is likely to form there during the next day
or two. This system, 96E, is forecast to meander for the next
couple of days before drifting northward towards the southern
coast of Mexico. Another area of low pressure, 97E, is centered off
the coast of southwestern Mexico. Environmental conditions are
forecast to be conducive for development in a few days, and a
tropical depression is expected to form by the end of the week.
The disturbance is forecast to meander near or just offshore of
the coast of Mexico for much of the week, and then begin moving
slowly west-northwestward, parallel to the coast of Mexico by
this weekend. Regardless of development of these systems, areas
of heavy rainfall are expected over the forecast waters, where
winds and seas will be locally higher. Elsewhere, gentle NW to N
winds will persist across the waters off Baja California
throughout the week, with winds increasing to moderate speeds
each late afternoon and evening near the coast.
