based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and
meteorological analysis.

Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0300 UTC.

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

A surface trough extends from 08N78W to 09N86W to 07N95W. The 
ITCZ extends from 06N97W to 07N105W to 05N140W. Scattered 
moderate convection is noted from 03N to 08N between 113W and 
137W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

A ridge of high pressure extends west of the Baja California
peninsula. Moderate to fresh winds, and seas of 5-6 ft, prevail 
west of Baja California Norte. Light to gentle winds prevail 
elsewhere. Seas are 4 to 5 ft elsewhere across the open waters 
off Mexico, with seas 1-3 ft in the Gulf of California.

Fresh to strong NW winds will prevail west of Baja California 
Norte through Sat. NW swell will increase seas off Baja 
California Norte Fri through Mon. Gentle to moderate winds are 
expected elsewhere through Mon.

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

Moderate to fresh winds are over and downstream of the Gulf of 
Papagayo. Gentle to moderate winds prevail elsewhere. Seas are in
the 3-5 ft range across the area.

Gentle to moderate winds and 3 to 5 ft seas will prevail across 
most of the forecast area through Sun. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

Weak high pressure prevails across the northern waters east of 
130W. A weak pressure gradient continues in the forecast waters,
with moderate winds over the waters north of the ITCZ to near 
15N and west of 105W. Gentle to moderate winds prevail elsewhere.
Seas are in the 6-7 ft range north of the ITCZ to near 15N and 
west of 135W. Seas of 4-6 ft prevail elsewhere. Little change is
expected, and a weak pressure gradient will continue through Sat
with gentle to moderate trade winds expected. High pressure will
build modestly over the northern waters later this week, and 
slightly strengthen trade winds north of the ITCZ. Northerly 
swell will propagate south of 30N east of 125W by late Fri. Seas 
over this area will build to around 10-11 ft Sat night and Sun.
