PMZ001-241430- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 618 PM PST Fri Dec 23 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front that moved across the Gulf of Mexico earlier today is inducing the strongest Tehuantepec gap wind event of the season thus far. Storm-force gap winds will continue through the overnight hours across the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Gales will persist early Sat through at least Tue morning with a very large area of strong to near-gale force winds extending beyond the outer boundary of the offshore waters. Very large and steep seas are building with this gap wind event. Elsewhere over Mexican offshore waters, high pressure will strengthen modestly across the Baja offshore waters and Gulf of California through Sat to produce fresh to strong NW winds in the Gulf of California. $$ PMZ009-241430- Mexico Border S to 29N within 60 nm of shore- 618 PM PST Fri Dec 23 2022 .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 10 to 15 kt.
