..SPECIAL FEATURES
SOUTH OF SOUTHERN MEXICO:
A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
CENTERED A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF SOUTHERN MEXICO. GRADUAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM LATER THIS WEEKEND OR
EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE IT MOVES GENERALLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD WELL
OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF
TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. PLEASE
REFER TO THE LATEST NHC TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK AT
WWWW.HURRICANES.GOV FOR MORE DETAILS.
..TROPICAL WAVES
A TROPICAL WAVE HAS ITS AXIS NEAR 99W FROM 03N NORTHWARD. AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE HAS DEVELOPED WHERE THE WAVE AXIS INTERSECTS THE
MONSOON TROUGH. PLEASE SEE SPECIAL FEATURES ABOVE FOR MORE ON
THIS FEATURE. NEARBY CONVECTION IS DISCUSSED IN THE ITCZ/MONSOON
TROUGH SECTION BELOW.
..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH
THE MONSOON TROUGH EXTENDS FROM 10N86W TO 09N94W TO 12N109W TO
08N125W. THE ITCZ CONTINUES FROM 08N125W TO 07N140W. SCATTERED

FOR THE FORECAST, POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE FLOSSIE, LOCATED W OF
BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE THROUGH
EARLY SAT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES NW. STRONG TO NEAR GALE WINDS, AND
ROUGH SEAS, WILL DECREASE THROUGH EARLY SAT AS THE SYSTEM WEAKENS
AND DISSIPATES. FRESH TO STRONG WINDS OVER THE GULF OF
CALIFORNIA WILL DIMINISH BY EARLY SAT. FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY
STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ARE POSSIBLE OFF
OAXACA AND GUERRERO AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD WELL OFFSHORE OF THE COAST OF SOUTHERN MEXICO.
GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT

..REMAINDER OF THE AREA
HIGH PRESSURE PREVAILS OVER THE NORTHERN WATERS. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AND LOWER PRESSURE
WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE ITCZ IS
SUPPORTING MODERATE WINDS N OF THE MONSOON TROUGH AND W OF 120W.
LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ARE ELSEWHERE N OF THE MONSOON TROUGH. S
