Scattered moderate convection is from 06N to 15N between 92W and 99W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 08N78W to 14N95W to 10N115W to low pressure near 11N125W 1010 mb to 08N132W to beyond 09N140W.

Large NW swell will continue impacting the Baja California offshore waters through early Tue. Strong northerly gap winds are expected across the Gulf of Tehuantepec Tue night, increasing to near gale force Wed morning and prevailing through Wed evening. The next gap wind event for the Gulf of Tehuantepec is expected late Fri night and continuing through the weekend with possible gale force winds. Otherwise, fresh to locally strong NW to N winds are expected tonight and Fri over the northern Gulf of California. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate SW to W winds will prevail across much of the region through this week.
