PMZ001-122115- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 110 AM PST Thu Dec 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over the western Gulf of Mexico is forcing gale-force to near storm-force winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec tonight, with a large area of strong to gale-force winds and high seas extending to 300 nm southward of the coast. This is occurring behind a cold front stretching from western Cuba to Honduras. Seas are peaking at 18 to 21 ft tonight. Winds and seas will slowly diminish through Thu night with gales forecast to end near sunrise on Fri. Winds are expected to remain strong to near gale-force strength Fri through Mon morning there as strong high pressure persists across the Gulf of Mexico and the NW Caribbean. Elsewhere, winds are steadily diminishing in the Gulf of California as high pressure to the north weakens. A broad ridge extends eastward into Baja California and southwestern Mexico tonight, producing gentle to moderate winds. Moderate to locally fresh NW winds and rough seas will build across the waters north of Punta Eugenia Thu night into Fri, as a weakening cold front moves into the Baja Norte waters. High pressure will build modestly across the area waters Sat afternoon through Mon to bring a return to moderate to locally fresh NW to N winds across all waters W of Manzanillo. $$ PMZ009-122115- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 110 AM PST Thu Dec 12 2024 .TODAY...NW winds 10 kt.
