000 AXPZ20 KNHC 260910 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1005 UTC Fri Jul 26 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 0900 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is along 83W N of 03N, moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 04N to 08N between 81W and 85W in association with this wave. A tropical wave is along 95W N of 03N, moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 05N to 10N between 92W and 97W in association with this wave. A tropical wave is along 110W from 05N to 17N, moving W at 15 kt. The wave is generating scattered convective activity, mainly from 07N to 14N east of the wave axis. A tropical wave is along 119W, moving W at 10 to 15 kt. This wave is producing a broad area of cloudiness and disorganized showers from 05N to 12N between 114W and 124W. Environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development and a tropical depression could by Monday as the disturbance moves westward. See the latest Tropical Weather Outlook TWOEP for more information. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 07N78W to 09N100W to 13N109W. The ITCZ continues from 12N112W to 06N125W to 09N140W. The majority of convective activity is associated with the tropical waves mentioned above, from 05N to 14N E of 125W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A weak ridge will dominate the offshore forecast waters west of Baja California through the upcoming weekend. A surface trough near the Baja peninsula will generally support moderate SE to S winds over the Gulf of California during the next several days. Northerly winds will increase to fresh to strong over the Gulf of Tehuantepec beginning tonight. This gap wind event will likely persist through early next week. Winds will be strongest at night, aided by nocturnal drainage flow. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate to fresh S to SW winds south of the monsoon trough, combined with long period S swell, will maintain seas to 7 ft off the coasts of Panama and Colombia, as well as Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands through tonight. Fresh to strong gap winds will affect the Gulf of Papagayo through Mon, with seas building to 8 or 9 ft. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... The remnant low of Dalila is evident on satellite imagery as a swirl of low level clouds near near 23N123W. Dalila is forecast to weaken into a trough by tonight. A ridge dominates much of the forecast waters N of 20N and W of 112W. Light to moderate winds and seas of 5 to 6 ft are noted south of the ridge axis. The ridge should strengthen slightly across the northern forecast waters this weekend as the remnant low of Dalila dissipates. Cross equatorial SE to S swell with seas to 8 ft will affect the forecast waters S of the Equator and E of 120W through Sat. Wind waves generated by a tropical wave currently located along 119W will generate an area of 8 to 9 ft seas. This area of seas will expand and move W along with the tropical wave through Sat. $$ Mundell
