000 AXPZ20 KNHC 270348 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 245 UTC Mon Apr 27 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 0250 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... A surface trough extends from low pres 1009 mb 10N74W to 07N80W to 05N94W. The ITCZ continues in segments from 05N94W TO 07N104W, from 06N109W to 08.5N126.5W and from 08N131W to beyond 06N140W. Low pres 1008 mb near 07N106W and a surface trough extending from 06N129W to low pres 1009 mb near 08.5N129W to 11N127W split the ITCZ. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is present from 04N to 07N between 85W and 95W and also from 03N to 10N between 103W and 116W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Light to gentle winds generally prevail over the forecast waters. Seas range between 5 and 7 ft west of Baja California Norte and 4 to 6 ft elsewhere. Inside the Gulf of California seas are in the 0 to 3 ft range. Weak surface troughing will remain near the Baja Peninsula region through the end of the week. High pressure will gradually build toward the region from the west for the next several days. A pulse of strong to near gale force N to NE winds is expected over the Gulf of Tehuantepec tonight and Monday. NW swell will move into the waters off Baja California Norte Mon through Tue night, causing seas N of 29N and E of 125W to build to between 8 and 9 ft during this time frame. N swell will move into the waters off Baja California Norte on Friday, causing seas N of 24N and E of 125W to build to between 8 and 10 ft. Otherwise fairly tranquil marine conditions will prevail elsewhere through the next week. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... A weak pressure pattern is resulting in mostly light to gentle winds across the forecast waters. Seas are mainly 3 to 5 ft in a mix of long period S and NW swell. Fairly tranquil marine conditions are expected across most of the forecast area through Thu, except for the Papagayo region, where fresh to strong gap winds will prevail through Fri night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Post-Tropical Cyclone One-E is centered near 16.5N120W. Estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 25 kt with gusts to 35 kt. This system only contains shallow convection and continues to weaken as it moves WNW. The remnant low will dissipate by Tue. High pressure prevails over the northern waters. Away from the wind field of Post-Tropical Cyclone One-E, gentle to moderate winds prevail across the discussion area. Seas are in the 5-8 ft range. Gentle to moderate winds will prevail from 05N to 20N W of 120W through mid week. High pressure to the N will build by mid week as the low moves away toward the NE. The rebuilding high will cause trade winds in this region to become moderate to fresh during the second half of the week. $$ CAM
