000 AXPZ20 KNHC 061557 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC MON JUN 06 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1500 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 12N110W to low pressure located near 10N122.5W to 06N129W. The ITCZ continues from 06N129W TO 06N135W to beyond 07N140W. Scattered moderate convection is seen on satellite imagery from 05N TO 07N between 78W and 80W...and N of 12N to the coast of El Salvador between 87W AND 90W. ...DISCUSSION... An area of low pressure located near 10N122.5W or about 1100 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula continues to produce an area of showers and thunderstorms. This convective activity is mainly to the west of the low center from 08N to 11N between 122w and 125W. Development, if any, of this system should be slow to occur while the system moves westward during the next day or two before environmental conditions become less conducive. This system has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next 24 to 48 hours. Winds of 20 to 25 kt are expected across the northwest portion of this low through Tuesday, where seas will remain 6 to 8 ft. An elongated area of low pressure located near 13.5N99W is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms from 13N to 15N between 97W and 99W. Some development of this system is possible during the next couple of days while it moves slowly northeastward towards the coast of southern Mexico. A broad area of fresh to strong southwesterly flow is to the SE of this low pressure covering the waters from about 05N to 10N between 93W and 102W. This wind flow continues to transport abundant tropical moisture mainly across northern Central America. This very moist and unstable weather pattern is expected to persist across this region for the next 24 hours, and will leave additional rain amounts over already wet soils. Further heavy rains today may produce localized flooding, especially in areas of elevated terrain where landslides may occur. This is a typical weather pattern for the month of June. A cold front has entered the NW corner of the forecast area and now extends from 30N139W to 27N140W. Fresh to locally strong winds are noted ahead of the front mainly N of 27N to a line from 30N137W TO 27N139W. The front is forecast to reach a position from 30N137W to 26N140W this evening. At that time... winds are expected to diminish to 20 kt or less ahead of the front. A 1016 mb small area of high pressure centered near 27.5N131.5W persists across the northwest waters this morning. The pressure gradient between the associated ridge and a deepening trough over the Gulf of California is producing fresh to strong NW winds west of the Baja California peninsula roughly N of 25N E of 116W. Fresh to locally strong southerly flow is expected to briefly develop inside the Gulf of California tonight and persist through late Tuesday. Resultant seas will build to 5 to 6 ft. Wave heights across the Pacific waters west of the Baja peninsula are ranging 6 to 7 ft based on the most recent altimeter pass. These wave heights will gradually diminish to 4 to 6 ft through late Tuesday. The aforementioned 1016 mb surface high continues to produce a modest pressure gradient to the south, and is maintaining moderate to locally fresh NE trades between 18N and the ITCZ/monsoon trough where seas are 4 to 5 ft. $$ GR
