000 AXPZ20 KNHC 070212 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0049 UTC Mon Oct 7 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 0200 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 114W from 06N to 18N, moving W around 15 kt. No significant deep convection is associated with this tropical wave. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 11N85W to 14N112W to beyond 14N140W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is located from 05N to 13N east of 92W. Scattered moderate convection is located from 07N to 10N between 100W to 110W as well as 06N to 10N between 124W to 130W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A ridge will dominate the offshore forecast waters west of Baja California during the next several days producing gentle to moderate NW to N winds. High pressure forming over the Great Basin will bring strong NW to N winds across the northern part of the Gulf of California on Thu and reaching the central Gulf of California Thu night. High pressure building behind a cold front moving through the Gulf of Mexico will generate strong to near gale N winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec Mon through Wed morning. No tropical cyclone activity is expected in the region for at least the next several days. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Gentle to moderate SW to W winds will prevail from 02N to the monsoon trough near 11N. Gentle to moderate S to SW winds will prevail over the waters between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. A SE to S long-period swell is contributing toward combined seas up to 9 ft in the equatorial zones. These large swell reached farther north than assessed earlier, based upon 1945 and 2125 UTC altimeter passes showing 8 ft seas extending up to around 01N. These high seas should gradually diminish tomorrow, with no new long-period swell reaching these waters through at least Fri night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A weak low pressure system continues over the western waters at 20N133W. Scattered moderate convection has redeveloped over the last several hours within 120 nm in the NE semicircle. Despite this, environmental conditions are not anticipated to be conducive and the low is expected to weaken to a trough by Tue. The low has seas to 8 ft, which should diminish by Mon. No tropical cyclone activity is expected for at least the next several days. Elsewhere, a surface ridge extends southeastward from 30N128W to 18N108W. The pressure gradient between the ridge to the monsoon trough is supporting mainly gentle to moderate tradewinds. South of the monsoon trough gentle to moderate S to SW winds prevail. Little change is expected during the next several days. Cross equatorial long-period SE swell continues to propagate across the southern waters, with seas to 8 ft east of 110W. Seas will subside below 8 ft by Mon. A new long-period N swell event of 8 to 10 ft is expected to reach our northern border west of Baja California Wed night and persist through Fri. $$ Landsea
