.NONE.
AN EARLIER SCATTEROMETER SATELLITE PASS SHOWED ONLY FRESH GAP

ELSEWHERE, A RIDGE DOMINATES THE WATERS WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA,

FOR 1-3 FT SEAS IN THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
FOR THE FORECAST, FRESH TO STRONG GAP WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC THROUGH TUE MORNING. THE

PENINSULA IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO BE
CONDUCIVE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION

WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TO NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION
OF THE EAST PACIFIC. WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE
ACROSS THE WEST-CENTRAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST REGION BY THE
EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK AS THIS SYSTEM DEVELOPS.
