PMZ001-231545- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 744 PM PST Thu Dec 22 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will move across the Gulf of Mexico through Fri evening and induce the strongest Tehuantepec gap wind of the year thus far. Strong northerly winds will begin across Tehuantepec by sunrise Fri and rapidly increase to gale force by early Fri afternoon, and then to storm force Fri night. Gales could then persist through at least Tue night with a very large area of strong to gale force winds extending beyond the outer boundary of the offshore waters. Very large and steep seas will develop with this gap wind event. High pressure will strengthen modestly across the Baja offshore waters and Gulf of California Fri and Sat to produce fresh to strong NW winds in the Gulf of California. $$ PMZ009-231545- Mexico Border S to 29N within 60 nm of shore- 744 PM PST Thu Dec 22 2022 .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 kt.
