NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
0405 UTC Sat Mar 28 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 
0300 UTC.

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

A surface trough extends from 07N80W to 06N88W. The ITCZ 
continues from 06N88W to 05N95W to 06N101W to 04N140W.
No significant convection is noted.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

High pressure W of the Baja California peninsula will maintain 
moderate to fresh NW winds west of Baja California through Sun, 
except fresh to strong S of Punta Eugenia through Sat morning. 
Winds will diminish early next week as the area of high pressure 
weakens. Fresh to strong NW winds are expected in the southern 
half of the Gulf of California through Sat. Gentle W to NW winds 
will dominate the waters between Cabo Corrientes and Tehuantepec 
through Sun. 

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

High pressure north of the western Caribbean will maintain 
pulses of moderate to fresh NE to E winds in the Gulf of 
Papagayo region through Sun. Light to gentle winds are expected 
elsewhere across the offshore waters, except for the Gulf of 
Panama, where moderate northerly winds will pulse each night 
through the weekend. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A broad ridge extends from high pressure near 31N137W to near 
the Revillagigedo Islands. The gradient between the ridge and 
lower pressures in the vicinity of the ITCZ is supporting fresh 
to strong trade winds N of the ITCZ to near 25N and W of 120W. 
The area of fresh to strong winds will continue through early 
next week, before high pressure weakens and winds diminish. Seas 
in the 8 to 12 ft range will prevail over this region of fresh 
to strong trades. Seas will start to diminish early next week.
