NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
2008 UTC Sat Mar 14 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
2000 UTC.

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

A surface trough extends from from low pres 1011 mb near 09N75W
to 05N80W to 01N104W. The ITCZ continues from 01N104W to 03N125W
to beyond 03N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from
03N to 10N between 122W and 136W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

A 1022 mb high pressure centered near 26N120W extends SE to near
the Revillagigedo Islands. This ridge will remain nearly
stationary into early next week, light to moderate NW winds in
place in the Gulf of California and W of Baja California. Winds
in the northern Gulf of California will become strong and SW
ahead of a cold front Monday night. Behind the front, strong
winds are also expected Wed and Wed night. These strong winds are
also expected Wed and Wed night offshore Baja California Norte,
along with seas of 8 to 10 ft that may persist into Thu.

Elsewhere from Cabo Corrientes to Puerto Angel, tranquil marine 
conditions generally will prevail into early next week.

Expect strong N gap winds over the Gulf of Tehuantepec Sun 
through early Tue in response to high pres over the Gulf of 
Mexico. This gap wind is expected to peak Mon morning as winds 
reach 30 kt and seas build to as high as 10 ft.

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

High pres over the Caribbean will generally maintain strong NE 
to E winds over the Gulf of Papagayo region into late next week.
Fresh N winds will continue across the Gulf of Panama and 
downstream to 05N into the middle of next week, briefly becoming 
locally strong Mon night.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

N of the ITCZ, moderate to occasionally fresh NE trade winds 
will prevail from 05N to 20N and W of 110W into early next week.
Corresponding seas in this area will range between 7 and 9 ft in
mixed swell.

Significant low pressure may develop W of San Diego early Tue
then move east. Strong W winds would likely accompany this low
for areas N of 25N and E of 130W Tue into early Thu.
