TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION                                  
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL                      
2205 UTC THU MAY 26 2016

Tropical weather discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is
based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and
meteorological analysis.

Based on 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
2145 UTC.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...         

The monsoon trough axis extends from 09N84W to 07N92W to 10N105W
to low pres near 10N115W 1012 mb to 08N124W. ITCZ axis extends
from 08N124W to 08N138W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
convection is seen within 180 nm south of the axis between 95W
and 100W, also between 101W and 105W, within 120 NM south of the
axis between 86W and 88W and removed to the southeast of the
convergence zone from 03N to 08N between 78W and 81W and within
30 nm of 13N106.5W. Scattered moderate convection is within 60
NM of the axis between 88W and 94W, and within 60 NM north of
the axis between 117W and 122W.

...DISCUSSION...   

High pressure centered well north of the area extends a ridge 
southeastward to 32N133W to 27N128W to 23N119W to near 20N110W.
High pressure is present roughly north of 14N and west of 112W.
Scatterometer data from last night showed fresh NE winds north
of the convergence zone between 122W and 138W, with highest
winds to 27 kt within 90 nm west of a trough axis analyzed from
12N136W to 08N139W. The trough is moving west about 15 kt. The
trough and its associated winds and seas are forecast to move
west of 140W by Fri morning.

Weak low pressure of 1012 mb is embedded along the monsoon trough
near 10N115W. Latest satellite imagery shows that the low is
elongated east to west in structure with small clusters of 
scattered moderate to isolated strong convection within 120 nm
of low in the southeast quadrant and within 60 nm of the low in
the northeast quadrant. Global model guidance suggests that the
low will remain weak as it slowly moves west-northwestward
through late Friday, then begin to become somewhat more
organized late Friday into Saturday as it passes 120W. The
strong high pressure north of the area is forecast to shift
southwest over the next 48 hours while weakening. 

Near gale to gale force NNW winds along the California coast are
expected to produce an area of N swell that will sweep south of
32N Fri night and affect north-central waters N of 28N between
121W and 130W through Saturday. An area of seas to 8 feet in
south swell located from 10N to 13N between 124W and 127W based
on recent altimeter data is forecast to subside to just below 8
feet by early on Friday. Otherwise, rather benign marine
conditions are expected to prevail across the remainder of the
forecast area through Sun.
