Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
626 PM PDT Wed May 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NW winds and moderate seas or
less, will prevail off the Baja California waters through this
week and into the upcoming weekend, pulsing to locally strong
near Cabo San Lucas tonight. Pulsing moderate to locally fresh 
gap winds will push through the mountain passages of Baja 
California into the Gulf of California at night through Thu 
night. Gentle to locally moderate winds and moderate seas are 
expected elsewhere across the open offshore waters of Mexico 
through late this week. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is
forecast to form several hundred miles to the south of the Gulf 
of Tehuantepec within the next couple of days. Gradual 
development is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression 
could form over the weekend while the system moves slowly to the 
west-northwest or northwest, remaining south of the coast of 
Mexico through early next week. Regardless of development, 
increasing winds and seas are possible across that area toward 
the end of the week and into the upcoming weekend.
