.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate southerly winds are forecast
south of the monsoon trough, with light to gentle winds north of
the monsoon trough, through the end of the week. Southerly swell
moving through the regional waters will support seas of 5-6 ft 
through the forecast period. An area of low pressure is forecast 
to form south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec by mid to late week and 
move west-northwestward. This will increase the winds and seas in
the offshore waters of Guatemala and El Salvador toward the end 
of the week and into the upcoming weekend.
