000 AXPZ20 KNHC 090956 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1005 UTC THU JUN 09 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 0900 UTC. ..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 13.5N103W to low pres 1010 mb near 13N109W to 08.5N115W to low pres 1012 mb near 11.5N130W to 10N140W. Scattered moderate to strong convection noted from 02N to 09N e of 80W to coastal Colombia. Scattered to locally numerous moderate to strong convection noted from 06N to 13.5N between 85W and 97W. Widely scattered to scattered moderate isolated strong convection noted within 240 nm s of the monsoon trough between 103W and 118W. Widely scattered moderate convection noted within 270 nm s and 150 nm n of the monsoon trough and low between 127W and 137W. ...DISCUSSION... Even though Tropical Depression One-E has dissipated, moderate sw monsoon flow continues over the eastern North Pacific e of 120W and is aiding in producing ample tropical moisture converging across Central America and southeastern Mexico. This low level pattern will maintain the potential for heavy rainfall over the southern facing mountain slopes of Central America for the next few days. High pressure of 1020 mb centered over the northern waters near 28N131W extends a ridge se to near 19N115W. The pressure gradient between the area of high pressure and the area of low pressure embedded in the monsoon trough near 11.5N130W is supporting fresh winds over the northern quadrant of the low and seas 6 to 7 ft. The area of low pressure will weaken over the next 24 hours and winds and seas will diminish modestly. Outside this modest pressure gradient, the pressure gradient between the weak area of high pressure and the monsoon trough is supporting gentle to moderate winds N of the monsoon trough w of 110W, with seas in the 4 to 5 ft range. High pressure will slowly build in across the northern waters and tighten the pressure gradient to help support moderate to fresh trades N of the monsoon trough with seas building to 5 to 7 ft by Friday. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over the Gulf of California is supporting moderate NW winds off the coast of Baja California with seas in the 4-5 ft range. Moderate to fresh southerly flow prevails inside the Gulf of California and will become enhanced during the afternoon and late evening hours along the prominent points due to daytime heating. This pattern will persist through early Friday before winds become generally southwesterly in the gulf. $$ Stripling
