298 FZPN28 KNHC 231535 OFFPZ8 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 835 AM PDT Thu May 23 2019 Offshore Waters Forecast for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. PMZ101-240345- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 835 AM PDT Thu May 23 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms along portions of the west coast of Central America and the far eastern North Pacific are associated with a broad area of low pressure, currently centered inland over Central America. Locally heavy rains are likely to continue over portions of Central America as this system remains nearly stationary during the next few days. These rains could cause flash flooding and mudslides in areas of mountainous terrain. Early next week, the global models suggest increasing winds south of the monsoon trough. This will depend on how the low pressure system described above evolves in the coming days. $$ PMZ111-240345- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 835 AM PDT Thu May 23 2019 .TODAY...W to NW winds 10 kt.
