A STRONG COLD FRONT IS MOVING ACROSS THE GULF OF AMERICA AS STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. BUILDS SOUTHWARD BEHIND
IT. THIS IS LEADING TO STRONG N WINDS IN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TO 14.5N, ALONG WITH MODERATE SEAS TO AROUND
7 FT. THE REMAINDER OF THE MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS ARE DOMINATED
BY A BROAD SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED WELL WEST OF THE AREA.
FRESH NW WINDS AND SEAS TO 5 FT ARE NOTED IN THE NORTHERN GULF
OF CALIFORNIA, WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH NW WINDS AND SEAS 4
TO 5 FT IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS. GENTLE TO MODERATE
N-NW WINDS AND SEAS OF 6-8 FT IN NW SWELL PREVAIL OFF BAJA
CALIFORNIA. ELSEWHERE, MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS
PREVAIL.
FOR THE FORECAST, BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF THE SIERRA MADRE MOUNTAINS IN MEXICO, IN THE WAKE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE GULF OF AMERICA TODAY, WILL
SUPPORT STRONG TO GALE-FORCE WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS IN THE
TEHUANTEPEC REGION TODAY THROUGH FRI. EXPECT N-NE WINDS IN THE 35
TO 40 KT RANGE, WITH SEAS BUILDING TO AROUND 13 TO 14 FT WITH
THIS GAP WIND EVENT. SEAS GENERATED FROM THIS EVENT WILL SPREAD
WELL AWAY FROM THE TEHUANTEPEC AREA, WITH SEAS 8 FT OR GREATER
REACHING AS FAR SOUTH AS 09N100W ON THU NIGHT. ELSEWHERE, HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN WELL NW OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO
PRODUCE MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS ACROSS THE BAJA OFFSHORE WATERS.
N-NW SWELL CURRENTLY DOMINATING SEAS ACROSS THE BAJA CALIFORNIA
OFFSHORE WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE TODAY THROUGH THU, WITH
NEW N-NW SWELL ENTERING THE BAJA NORTE WATERS THU NIGHT, BUILDING
SEAS 6 TO 9 FT ACROSS THOSE WATERS. LARGE NW SWELL WILL REACH
THE AREA WATERS THIS WEEKEND.
THE SMALL TROPICAL STORM, SONIA, THAT WAS LOCATED WELL SW OF
BAJA CALIFORNIA HAS SUCCUMBED TO THE HOSTILE CONDITIONS AND
WEAKENED TO A POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE. THE REMNANT LOW, NEAR 15.5N
126W, IS PRODUCING FRESH TO STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS WITHIN
90 NM NORTH OF THE CENTER. THE REST OF THE TROPICAL EASTERN
PACIFIC IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A 1026 MB HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
CENTERED NEAR 36N133W, SUPPORTING MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH NE-E
WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE WATERS NORTH OF 10N AND WEST OF 120W, AS
SHOWN BY OVERNIGHT SATELLITE SCATTEROMETER DATA. SEAS ARE 6-8 FT
IN THE AREA DESCRIBED. MEANWHILE, MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH
SOUTHERLY WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ARE NOTED SOUTH OF 10N AND EAST OF
120W. ELSEWHERE, MODERATE OR LIGHTER WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ARE
PREVALENT.
