Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
315 PM PDT Sat Oct 17 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Trudy is near 17.5N 105.0W at 2 PM 
PDT, and is moving northwest at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds are
85 kt with gusts to 105 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 
976 mb. Trudy will move to 18.6N 105.6W Sun morning, 19.8N 106.4W
Sun afternoon, and 20.7N 107.1W Mon morning. Trudy will weaken 
to a tropical storm near 21.0N 107.6W Mon afternoon, be near 
21.2N 108.1W Tue morning, and 21.5N 108.7W Tue afternoon. Trudy 
will weaken to a remnant low just south of Baja California Sur 
Wed afternoon. Strong high pressure building southward through 
Mexico is forcing powerful gale force winds through the Gulf of 
Tehunatepec, where very rough seas have built. Winds tonight and 
Sun will be near storm-force, with seas as high as 20 ft. Gales 
and very rough seas will prevail Sun night through Tue night.
Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is forecast to form 
offshore of southern Mexico during the early to middle part of 
next week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual 
development thereafter, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form during the latter half of next week while it moves generally
westward to west-northwestward over the eastern and central 
portions of the East Pacific. There is a high chance of tropical
formation of this low over the next 7 days.
