000 AXPZ20 KNHC 020255 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Sun Jun 2 2019 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 0245 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... ...Locally Heavy Rainfall to continue over portions of southeastern Mexico... A large, low-level cyclonic circulation called a Central American Gyre will persist across southern Mexico, Central America, and the far eastern Pacific for the next several days. Locally heavy rainfall is likely to continue over portions of southeastern Mexico during the next several days as deep moisture continues to stream northeastward from the far eastern Pacific to over this section of Mexico. Please refer to your local meteorological service for more details. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends across Central America and southern Mexico, then passes through the coastal areas of Guerrero near 16N99W to a 1008 mb low near 15N95W. From there it continues to 10N101W and to 09N110W, where scatterometer data from Sat afternoon indicated that it transitions to the ITCZ to 09N121W to 06N128W and to beyond 06N140W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is within 60 nm south of the ITCZ between 132W and 136W and within 30 nm south of the trough between 113W and 117W. ...DISCUSSION... OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Weak high pressure is maintaining gentle to moderate winds and 4 to 6 feet seas across open waters off Mexico. A trough moving across Baja California Norte and the Gulf of California tonight will bring fresh to strong south to southwest winds over the northern part of the Gulf of California through late Sun afternoon. Fresh northwest winds will continue to pulse off Los Cabos through early next week. Low pressure of 1008 mb is along the monsoon trough at 16N99W. Models suggest that this low will remain nearly stationary through most of Sun. A weak low may form to the west of this one near 14N100W late Sun or Mon. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Gentle to moderate southwest winds and seas of 5-7 ft are noted across the offshore forecast waters of Central America. These marine conditions will persist into Mon. Farther south, seas will build to 8 ft due to a southwest between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands tonight and persist through Tue. Seas will briefly subside Tue night and Wed before another set of southwest approaches the Galapagos Islands Wed night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A ridge extends from a 1027 mb high center located northwest of the area at 34N143W southeastward to the Revillagigedo Islands. This system is producing mainly moderate to fresh northeast to east winds across the waters W of 125W. Altimeter data from Sat afternoon revealed seas in the 7-8 ft range from 08N to 12N and west of 135W. The high pressure will remain nearly stationary through early next week while slightly weakening. As a result, the aerial extent and strength of the trades will decrease. Northwest swell building seas to a peak of 8 ft is propagating through the waters north of 29N between 125W and 132W. This swell will decay by early Sun evening allowing for these seas to lower below 8 ft. $$ Aguirre
