NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
0100 UTC Fri Mar 13 2020

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
0100 UTC.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...

A surface trough extends from 08N83W to 02N106W. The ITCZ 
extends from 02N106W to 02N125W to beyond 03N140W. Scattered
moderate convection is noted from 01N to 06N between 91W and
100W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

Deep layer low pressure is centered just N of the Gulf of
California this evening, drifting E. To the SE of this low,
strong S winds are occurring in the northernmost Gulf of
California. Also, a plume of moisture is producing numerous 
showers from Baja California Sur across the southern Gulf of 
California and into Sonora. At the surface, another low center of
1012 mb is located near 29N120W. Both lows will weaken Fri.

South of the Gulf of California, tranquil conditions will
generally prevail into the weekend over Mexican offshore waters.
However, strong N winds are likely to pulse Sat and Sun nights in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... 

Fresh NE to E winds will continue across the Gulf of Papagayo 
region through at least Sun night, pulsing to strong at nights. 
Fresh winds are also likely in the Gulf of Panama during this
time. Seas may approach 8 ft due to these winds. No large swell 
is anticipated during the next several days.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A cold front associated with the aforementioned low pressure
centered near 29N120W extends down to 25N117W to 20N121W.
Moderate to fresh NW winds behind this front will decrease
tonight into Fri as the cold front weakens and gradually
dissipates.

Gentle to moderate trade winds will prevail across most of the 
tropical Eastern Pacific S of 12N into the weekend, with seas 
generally 5-7 ft W of 115W.
