Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
216 PM PDT Sun Jul 12 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure located several hundred
miles south of the coast of southern Mexico continues to produce
a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions remain favorable for gradual development
of this system, and a tropical depression is expected to form
during the early to middle part of the week while the system
moves generally west-northwestward, well off the coast of Mexico.
Otherwise, a ridge will continue to dominate the offshore forecast
waters of Baja California through early Thu, allowing for gentle
to moderate NW to N winds to continue along with moderate seas
in mixed swell. In the Gulf of California, gentle to moderate
winds and slight seas will prevail during this period. A surface
trough moving across the Bay of Campeche will support pulses of
fresh to strong winds in the Tehuantepec region Mon and Tue, then
mainly moderate to fresh winds are expected through Thu.
