...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Recently downgraded Post-Tropical Cyclone One-E is centered near
16.2N 119.4W at 26/2100 UTC moving NW at 8 kt. Estimated minimum
central pressure is 1007 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 25

NHC forecast/advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP1/WTPZ21 
KNHC for more details.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...    

A surface trough extends from 09N78W to 06N91W to low pres near 
07N105W. The ITCZ extends from 07N108W to 09N125W. It resumes 
from 08N131W to 05N140W. Scattered moderate isolated strong 
convection was noted from 04N to 06N E of 90W, from 04N to 10N 
between 90W and 96W, and from 03N to 10N between 105W and 112W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

Light to gentle winds generally prevail over the forecast 
waters. Seas range between 5 and 7 ft west of Baja California 
Norte and 4 to 6 ft elsewhere. Inside the Gulf of California seas
are in the 1 to 3 ft range.

Weak surface troughing will remain near the Baja Peninsula 
region through at least mid week. High pressure will gradually 
build toward the region from the west for the next several days. 
A pulse of fresh to strong N winds is expected over the Gulf of 
Tehuantepec tonight and Monday. Northerly swell will move into
the waters off Baja California Norte on Friday, building seas to
10 ft. Otherwise fairly tranquil marine conditions will prevail 
elsewhere through the next week.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... 

A weak pressure pattern is resulting in mostly light to gentle 
winds across the forecast waters. Seas are mainly 3 to 5 ft in a 
mix of long period S and NW swell.

Fairly tranquil marine conditions are expected across most of 
the forecast area through Thu, except for the Papagayo region, 
where fresh to strong gap winds will prevail through Thu night.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

Please see special features above for more on recently downgraded
Post-Tropical Cyclone One-E.

High pressure prevails over the northern waters. Away from the 
wind field of Post-Tropical Cyclone One-E, gentle to moderate 
winds prevail across the discussion area. Seas are in the 5-8 ft 
range.

Gentle to moderate winds will prevail from 05N to 20N W of 120W 
through mid week. High pressure to the N will build by mid week 
as the low moves away toward the NE. The rebuilding high will 
cause trade winds in this region to become moderate to fresh 
during the second half of the week.
