WARNINGS
.NONE.
HIGH PRESSURE PREVAILS WEST OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA,
WITH A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE FEATURES IS SUPPORTING MODERATE TO FRESH
SE WINDS ALONG THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA. A SURFACE TROUGH MOVING
ACROSS THE BAY OF CAMPECHE IS HELPING TO INDUCE FRESH TO STRONG
NORTHERLY GAP WINDS IN THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC. LIGHT TO GENTLE
WINDS PREVAIL ELSEWHERE ALONG WITH MODERATE SEAS.
FOR THE FORECAST, MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS
THE BAJA CALIFORNIA OFFSHORE WATERS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK ALONG WITH SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS IN MIXED SWELL. FRESH TO
STRONG SE WINDS ACROSS THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA WILL DIMINISH TO
GENTLE TO MODERATE SPEEDS LATE TODAY. PULSES OF FRESH TO STRONG
WINDS WILL PERSIST IN THE TEHUANTEPEC REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. OTHERWISE, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTH- SOUTHWEST
OF THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF MEXICO. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT THEREAFTER, AND A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM BY MID-NEXT WEEK WHILE THE
SYSTEM MOVES GENERALLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD. REGARDLESS OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE FORMATION, THE LOWERING PRESSURE MAY INDUCE AT LEAST
FRESH TO STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS ACROSS THE
OFFSHORE WATERS OF SW MEXICO STARTING LATE SUN OR SUN NIGHT.
