WARNINGS
.NONE.
FRESH TO STRONG N TO NE GAP WINDS ARE NOTED ACROSS THE GULF OF
TEHUANTEPEC. MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS, LOCALLY STRONG, ASSOCIATED
WITH EP96 ARE OFF THE COAST OF SW MEXICO, WHERE SEAS ARE IN THE
7-9 FT RANGE. OTHERWISE, GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS DOMINATE THE
OPEN WATERS OFF MEXICO. LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ARE OVER THE GULF
OF CALIFORNIA. SEAS ARE IN THE 4-7 FT RANGE OFF THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA PENINSULA, AND 5-8 FT OVER THE REMAINDER OF OPEN
WATERS OFF MEXICO. SEAS ARE IN THE 1-3 FT RANGE OVER THE GULF OF
CALIFORNIA, REACHING 5 FT AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GULF.
FOR THE FORECAST, FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS IN THE GULF OF
TEHUANTEPEC WILL DIMINISH TODAY, WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH
WINDS PULSING AFTERWARDS THROUGH EARLY SAT. INCREASING WINDS AND
BUILDING SEAS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE, INVEST
EP96, BEING MONITORED WITH A HIGH CHANCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION. AN AREA OF FRESH WINDS OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA NORTE WILL
DIMINISH EARLY TODAY. WINDS MAY FRESHEN OFF BAJA CALIFORNIA
NORTE THIS WEEKEND. WINDS WILL BE MODERATE OR WEAKER ELSEWHERE
WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS, EXCEPT SLIGHT SEAS IN THE
GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
OFF THE COAST OF SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO (EP96):
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED MILES OFF THE
COAST OF SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SATELLITE-DERIVED WIND DATA INDICATE
THAT THE CIRCULATION REMAINS FAIRLY WELL ORGANIZED. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM,
AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM IN THE NEXT DAY OR
TWO WHILE IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH OVER THE
CENTRAL PORTION OF THE EASTERN PACIFIC. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO ENCOUNTER COOLER WATERS AND A DRIER AIRMASS OVER THE
WEEKEND, WHICH WILL INHIBIT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT, GRADUALLY INCREASING WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ARE
POSSIBLE OFFSHORE OF SW MEXICO AND SSW OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR.
THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE FOR TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT 48
HOURS. PLEASE READ THE LATEST NHC TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK AT
