For the forecast, other than Atlantic Potential Tropical Cyclone Two, moderate to fresh pulsing NE to E winds are expected in the Papagayo region through early Fri as the trade wind flow increases across the SW Caribbean. Light to gentle winds will prevail elsewhere north of the monsoon trough with gentle to moderate southerly winds south of the monsoon trough through the week. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Please refer to the Special Features section for details on a small low pressure system centered a few hundred nautical miles south of the coast of southwestern Mexico.
