The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1550 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 13N87W to 13N107W to beyond 09N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted about 60 nm N of the monsoon trough between 96W-100W and further west from 07N-10N between 133W-140W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A cold front extends from 27N110W to 22N113W. Fresh to strong northwest gap winds will prevail in the northern Gulf of California through Mon, while fresh NW winds will continue across the offshore waters of Baja. The NW swell associated with the front is increasing combined seas west of the Baja California. Peak seas may reach as high as 14 ft off Baja California Norte through today and gradually subside through Tuesday. A secondary front will move through the area tonight increasing the winds across the Gulf to fresh/strong. These conditions will continue through Mon morning. Gulf of Tehuantepec: Northerly gap winds will diminish across the region through the morning hours, with associated seas subsiding to less than 10 ft. SW swell will prevail across the area through the forecast period. Gentle winds will persist south of Cabo Corrientes outside of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Gentle to moderate NW winds are expected from Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo through today, with seas subsiding to 4-6 ft. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Seas are in the 5 to 7 ft range in this area, in a mix of SW cross-equatorial swell and NW swell. Moderate SW winds will prevail across the region through the forecast period. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A cold front extends from 27N110W to 22N113W. The front will continue to push southward through the afternoon, then stall and dissipate along 20N on Mon. A secondary front will move across the same area starting this evening, enhancing N to NW winds across the eastern portion of the basin. Expect fresh to strong N to NW winds and large NW swell accompanying this cold front through early next week. Seas greater than 8 ft will prevail over most of the area north of 12N and west of 110W through mid-week. The remnant low of Post-Tropical Cyclone Odalys continues to be a well defined low-level cloud swirl near 13N128W. The low will continue moving westward today and gradually weaken to a trough as it reaches cooler waters and drier more stable air. Surface ridging dominates north of 18N, anchored by a 1034 mb high pressure well to the north of the area. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds persist across the whole area. $$ MTorres
