FRESH WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER PERIPHERY
OF TROPICAL STORM NORBERT ARE AFFECTING THE OUTER OFFSHORES OF
THE TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. FRESH TO STRONG N GAP WINDS
CONTINUE ACROSS THE TEHUANTEPEC REGION AND DOWNWIND TO NEAR 14N.
MODERATE TO LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS ARE WITH THESE WINDS. LIGHT TO
GENTLE WINDS DOMINATE THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A WEAK RIDGE CENTERED NEAR 27N124W.
LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ARE PRESENT ELSEWHERE
ACROSS THE REMAINING MEXICAN OFFSHORE WATERS.
LOOKING AHEAD, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO FORM
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE BAJA
CALIFORNIA PENINSULA THIS WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME
GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE THEREAFTER, AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD FORM EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE THE SYSTEM MOVES
GENERALLY WESTWARD. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE FORMATION THROUGH 7 DAYS.
