THE MONSOON TROUGH EXTENDS FROM 09N79W TO 14N94W TO 12N109W      
THEN RESUMES FROM 14N129W TO 11N140W. NO ITCZ AXIS IS PRESENT E

...DISCUSSION...    

W OF 110W...REMNANT SWELLS GENERATED BY KARINA AND LOWELL HAVE 
MIXED WITH THOSE GENERATED BY MARIE. THESE SWELLS WILL GRADUALLY 
SUBSIDE DURING THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS WITH COMBINED SEAS OF 8 FT 
OR GREATER SHIFTING TO THE NW WITH TIME. 

1024 MB HIGH PRES IS WELL NW OF THE DISCUSSION WATERS NEAR 
41N133W WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING SE TO W OF THE BAJA 
CALIFORNIA PENINSULA NEAR 20N114W. PRONOUNCED TROUGHING WILL 
DEVELOP E OF THE PENINSULA ALONG THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA BY LATER 
TODAY WHICH IS FORECAST TO SUPPORT FRESH TO STRONG NW-NW WITH 
SEAS BUILDING TO 8 FT WITHIN 150 NM W OF THE PENINSULA N OF 24N. 
THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY 48 HOURS WHEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT 
WEAKENS.

A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM NEAR 18N140W TO 15N137W. 
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE OCCURRING NEAR THE TROUGH AXIS. NO OTHER 
SIGNIFICANT SURFACE FEATURES ARE CURRENTLY PRESENT ACROSS THE 
DISCUSSION WATERS.

MEANWHILE...THE WATERS E OF 110W WILL BE COMPARATIVELY MORE 
TRANQUIL WITH GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS AND 4 TO 6 FT SEAS 
EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
