A cold front is about 240 nm to the west of 140w. The front is being blocked by a surface ridge, that is along 20N110W 22N120W 26N132W beyond 32N135W. The forecast is for the front to become stationary during the next 36 to 48 hours. A 1011 mb low pressure center is near 11N119W. The low center is forecast to move southeastward during the next 48 hours, and become comparatively weaker than it is now. It is forecast to merge with the 1011 mb low pressure center that currently is near 08N110W. The wind speeds that will accompany this low center will reach 20 kt or less for the next 48 hours. Expect the sea heights to range from 8 feet to 10 feet from 02N to 20N between 110W and 131W during the next two days. A 1010 mb low pressure center is near 08N110W. The low center is forecast to be quasi-stationary, moving a bit to the south at first and then a bit to the north during the last half of the 48- hour forecast period. The wind speeds will reach 20 to 25 knots after about the first 12 hours, and then remain at 20 to 25 knots until the end of the forecast period. The sea heights will range from 8 feet to 9 feet for the first half of 48-hour forecast period, and then range from 8 feet to 10 feet during day two, from the equator to 13N between 90W and 110W. $$ mt
