PMZ101-242130- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America, Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador 230 AM PDT Tue Oct 24 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Otis is centered near 14.2N 98.5W, or about 180 nm south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico at 2 AM PDT. It is moving north-northwest at 7 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 55 kt with gusts to 65 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 997 mb. Otis will strengthen to a hurricane near 15.0N 99.0W this afternoon with maximum sustained winds 65 kt gusts 80 kt, then move to near 16.1N 99.7W late tonight with maximum sustained winds 75 kt gusts 90 kt and make landfall in Mexico near 17.1N 100.3W Wed afternoon. Otis will continue inland and weaken to a tropical storm near 17.9N 100.9W late Wed night, then to a remnant low near 18.6N 101.6W Thu afternoon and dissipate late Thu night. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh southerly winds will continue across the South America and Galapagos Islands offshore waters through early this afternoon, then materialize again Thu into early on Fri. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will prevail across the area through Wed night. Looking ahead, westerly wind speeds could increase north of the Equator toward the end of the work week as broad low pressure is likely to form over the far eastern Pacific waters. Mixed swell will keep seas in the 6 to 8 ft range across most of the waters through the rest of the week. $$ PMZ111-242130- Guatemala and El Salvador to 250 nm offshore- 230 AM PDT Tue Oct 24 2023 .TODAY...SW to W winds 10 kt.
