000 AXPZ20 KNHC 240223 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Fri Jun 24 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0200 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The southern part of a tropical wave off the Pacific coast of Guatemala extends to 13N90W, accompanied by minimal convection. The wave will continue W at 10-15 kt along the coast of Central America and reach the Gulf of Tehuantepec Fri night. ..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 08N78W to 11N107W to 10N122W, then ITCZ from 10N122W to 08N140W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection stretches along the convergence zone within 90 nm S and 60 nm N of the axis between 116W-134W. ...DISCUSSION... Weak high pressure prevails over northern waters N of 20N. A sfc trough is analyzed over Baja California. ASCAT data shows gentle to moderate northeasterly winds N of the convergence zone, and mainly moderate southerly winds to the south of it. Long period southerly swell continues to propagate northward across the EPAC resulting in combined seas of 8-11 ft. These seas will begin to subside from the west Fri night. Model guidance suggests a sfc low may develop along the monsoon trough near 11N124W Sat. Little change is expected elsewhere. $$ Mundell
