PMZ001-130430- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 923 AM PDT Fri Apr 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A strong late season gap wind event is producing N to NE gale-force winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec. On-going high pressure north of the area will continue to funnel these gales through Sat morning, dropping to near gale or strong breeze Sat night into Sun afternoon, and finally dissipating on Sun night. Elsewhere, developing low pressure over the lower Colorado River valley will force fresh to strong S winds over the northern Gulf of California late today. Looking ahead, a weak cold front will be moving across the waters west of Baja California Norte on Sat and Sun. In the wake of the cold front, building high pressure should cause fresh to strong NW winds west of the Baja California peninsula Sun night into Tue. $$ PMZ009-130430- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 923 AM PDT Fri Apr 12 2024 .THIS AFTERNOON...N of 31N, S to SW winds 10 kt in the afternoon.
