Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible across portions of El Salvador and Guatemala during the next several days. Sangay Volcano at position 02.01S 78.3W in Ecuador is currently in a state of unrest and is erupting and producing a plume of volcanic ash which may be reaching the surface offshore Ecuador to 82.5W, including the Gulf of Guayaquil. Mariners traveling in the vicinity of Sangay are urged to exercise caution. If mariners encounter volcanic ash or floating volcanic debris, you are encouraged to report the observation to the National Hurricane Center by calling 305-229-4424.
