000 FZPN27 KNHC 041559 OFFPZ7 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 859 AM PDT Sun Aug 4 2024 Offshore Waters Forecast for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ001-050400- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 859 AM PDT Sun Aug 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pres, Invest EP96, located a few hundred NM south of southwestern Mexico near 13N103.5W, has a high potential for tropical cyclone development during the next couple of days while the system moves generally west- northwestward at 10 to 15 kt, remaining well offshore of the coast of Mexico. Regardless of development, gale force winds are forecast by Tue morning across the outer waters and a gale warning is now in effect. Also, another area of low pressure, Invest EP97, has developed into Tropical Depression Five-E, near 15.8N112.9W at 1500 UTC. Maximum sustained winds are 30 kt gusting to 40 kt. Minimum central pressure is 1007 mb. TD Five-E is expected to drift south and eastward for the next couple of days and intensify into a tropical storm, then interact with the much larger circulation of EP96, to its southeast, which should limit further development. Otherwise, a broad and weak ridge will persist across the Baja waters into the early part of the week. Winds will be moderate or weaker elsewhere, except briefly moderate to fresh offshore SW Mexico to near Cabo San Lucas Wed night through Thu night due to a locally tight pressure gradient. $$ PMZ009-050400- Mexico Border S to 30N within 60 nm of shore- 859 AM PDT Sun Aug 4 2024 .TODAY...NW winds 10 to 15 kt.
