PMZ101-172130- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 129 AM PST Sun Nov 17 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh SW winds over the offshore waters of Nicaragua will weaken slightly tonight as Tropical Storm Sara currently located in the NW Caribbean along the coast of Honduras moves inland Belize. Moderate seas are expected over the offshore waters from El Salvador to northern Costa Rica, including the Papagayo region today. Gentle to moderate winds along with moderate seas are expected elsewhere, except between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, where winds will remain at mostly light speeds. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some possibly heavy, will continue to be quite persistent over the offshore waters of Guatemala, El Salvador, and northern Nicaragua into Mon as the onshore flow of SW winds into the outer cyclonic circulation of Tropical Sara that is located in the Gulf of Honduras helps to sustain this activity. $$ PMZ111-172130- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 129 AM PST Sun Nov 17 2024 .TODAY...SW to W winds 15 to 20 kt.
