000 AXPZ20 KNHC 110900 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1005 UTC Thu Jul 11 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0830 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave along 85W is moving westward at 10 kt. Isolated showers are from 07N to 09.5N between 82.5W and 85W. The disturbance is not likely to develop during the next few days. A well-defined tropical wave is along 102W from 04N to 15N, and moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. A 1011 mb low is located along the wave near 13N102W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is present N of 13N within 120 nm of wave axis. Environmental conditions are not conducive for tropical cyclone development during the next several days. A tropical wave along 125W from 03N to 13N is moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is present from 05N to 11N between 120W and 131W. The disturbance is not likely to develop during the next few days. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from 08N78W to 08N91W to 13N102W to 09N110W. The ITCZ begins at 09N111W to 09N124W, breaks for a tropical wave, and continues from 08N126W to 07N131W to beyond 09N140W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is within 150 nm of the ITCZ between 115W and 132W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... High pressure west of Baja California will build southeastward through Fri night, allowing for fresh NW winds over the offshore waters north of Cabo San Lazaro. Moderate to fresh SE to S winds are expected across the central and southern Gulf of California this weekend. Large long period S-SW swell will reach the coast of southern Mexico Fri night, and continue into Mon. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... The monsoon trough remains relatively weak near 10N with only gentle to moderate S to SW winds south of trough and light to gentle winds north of the trough. Little change is expected the next few days. Large long period SW swell will cross the equator later today, reach the coasts of Central America on Fri, and persist through the weekend. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... The pressure gradient across the forecast area remains rather weak. High pressure near 30N128W with ridging extending to near the Revillagigedo Islands will shift southeast. Tropical waves moving westward west of 105W will help increase winds across the trade wind belt. Wave heights may peak around 8 ft Thu through Fri west of 130W from the combination of NE wind waves and long period S to SW swell propagating through these waters. $$ Mundell
