THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A 1025 MB HIGH PRESSURE OVER
NORTHERN MEXICO AND A PAIR OF TROUGHS IN THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA
REGION IS BRINGING MODERATE TO FRESH NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA. SEAS
ARE 2 TO 4 FT OVER MUCH OF THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA AND AREAS
IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE GULF. MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH NE
WINDS W OF 110W AND S OF 19N PREVAIL, DRIVEN BY THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER MEXICO AND A SURFACE TROUGH S

ELSEWHERE OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS AND AWAY FROM THE WARNING AREA
IN THE SPECIAL FEATURES SECTION. SEAS OF 4-8 FT IN LONG-PERIOD
NORTHWEST SWELL ARE OVER THESE SAME WATERS. SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE TROUGH FARTHER OUT IN THE
