000 AXPZ20 KNHC 010959 TWDEP TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 1005 UTC WED JUN 01 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0830 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... One low pressure center is along 111W in the monsoon trough. A second low pressure center is along 115W/116W, also in the monsoon trough. The two low pressure centers will merge gradually, and then deepen through Wednesday, crossing 120W by late Friday. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development of this system during the next several days. The chance of formation of the broad area of surface low pressure, into a tropical cyclone, is medium. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is along 15N86W 10N87W 04N88W, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Convective precipitation: Scattered moderate to isolated strong from 06N to 08N between 78W and 83W, and from 05N to 13N between 83W and 90W. A tropical wave is along 14N100W 11N101W 07N101W, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Convective precipitation: scattered moderate to isolated strong from 07N to 16N between 96W and 105W. Convective precipitation: Scattered to numerous strong in the Gulf of Tehuantepec from 13N to 16N between 92W and 96W. A 1008 mb low pressure center is near 09N111W. Convective precipitation: numerous strong from 08N to 10N between 111W and 112W. Scattered moderate isolated strong elsewhere from 08N to 12N between 106W and 114W. A 1009 mb low pressure center is near 08N116W. Convective precipitation: numerous strong from 06N to 10N between 113W and 118W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough is along 11N86W 12N100W, to a 1008 mb low pressure center that is near 09N111W, to a 1009 mb low pressure center that is near 08N116W, to 08N121W. The ITCZ continues from 08N121W to 07N130W and to 07N140W. Convective precipitation: Scattered moderate to isolated strong from 05N to 08N between 92W and 96W, and from 04N to 07N between 105W and 111W. ...DISCUSSION... An upper level cyclonic circulation center is near 29N138W. A trough extends from the cyclonic center beyond 21N140W. Cyclonic wind flow covers the Eastern Pacific Ocean to the northwest of the line that passes through 17N140W to 17N130W beyond 23N106W in Mexico. An upper level cyclonic circulation center is near 30N111W in northwestern Mexico. Earlier altimeter data were showing sea heights from 8 feet to 10 feet to the south of 21N to the east of 127W. These sea heights are predominantly southwest swell that is mixed with northwest swell. This swell is expected to decay to less than 8 feet through Wednesday. Successive scatterometer passes since yesterday have been indicating a surge of southwest winds into the monsoon trough from 04N to 10N between roughly 90W and 105W. Altimeter data from this area have been showing concurrent wave heights of 8 to 10 ft, with some contribution of southwest swell. The winds are to the east of a pair of elongated weak low pressure areas along the monsoon trough farther west near 111W and 116W. The winds are expected to diminish after Wednesday as the low pressure areas move more to the west, allowing the sea heights and the thunderstorm activity to diminish also. A cold front is approaching the waters that are from 25N northward along 140W. Wind speeds ranging from 20 knots to 25 knots are to the east of the front from 27N to 29N between 139W and 140W. The forecast is for the front to weaken and to stall before ever crossing into the discussion area. Wave heights of 6 feet to 7 feet will impact the waters that are from 25N northward and from 137W westward. These sea heights are related to shorter period swell that is being generated along the front. A broad surface ridge will continue across the waters that are to the north of 15N and to the west of 120W. $$ mt
