Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
720 PM PDT Sun Sep 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Depression Fifteen-E is near 17.0N 118.3W at
8 PM PDT, or about 200 nm SE of Clarion Island. T.D. Fifteen-E is moving
west at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 30 kt with gusts to 40
kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1006 mb. Winds and seas
southwest of Clarion Island are diminishing as the depression
continues to move westward. Elsewhere, a ridge will build across
the offshore waters of Baja California, bringing moderate to
locally fresh NW to N winds through the early part of the week.
Expect fresh winds across the northern Gulf of California through
the early part of the week due to the pressure gradient between
the ridge and lower pressure over the Colorado River valley,
locally strong Mon night. Winds will freshen again off Baja
California by the end of the week, locally strong near Punta
Eugenia. Looking ahead, expect strong to near- gale N gap winds
and rough seas across the Tehuantepec by the middle of the week.
