Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is N of 03N E of 80W. For more information about convection, see the tropical waves section above. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A weak pressure pattern prevails over the forecast waters supporting light to gentle variable winds. Long period southwesterly swell continues to impact the region with seas in the 5-6 ft range. Long period swell will gradually subside through the end of the week. A surface trough along Baja California will deepen on Tue, resulting in moderate to fresh SE flow over the Gulf of California. Winds will strengthen to strong N of 29N on Tue night, and across the remainder gulf early on Wed, continuing through Wed evening. Northerly swell will propagate into the waters off Baja California Norte, with seas in the 6-8 ft range Tue and Wed before subsiding. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... The monsoon trough is positioned along 09N-10N across the Central American offshore waters.

This remnant low will dissipate today. High pressure is centered N of the forecast area near 32N136W. The pressure gradient between the area of high pressure and lower pressure in the vicinity of the monsoon/ITCZ is supporting moderate to fresh tradewinds N of the monsoon/ITCZ to 20N and west of 123W. Seas over this area are in the 6-8 ft range. Long period SW swell remains across much of the southern waters.
