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. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave axis is along 92W north of 03N into Guatemala, drifting west at 5 kt. No significant convection is observed near the wave axis. A tropical wave axis is along 112W/113W, from 04N to 17N. It is moving west at 5 to 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 10N to 14N between 110W and 114W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from 10N85W to 14N90W to 15N113W to 11N135W. The intertropical convergence zone axis extends from 11N135W to beyond 06N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted along the monsoon trough off the coast of El Salvador. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 10N to 14N between 110W and 114W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 11N to 15N between 124W and 128W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... High pressure west of Baja California will support generally fresh to locally strong NW winds north of Cabo San Lazaro into Wed night. A deep layer trough moving into the southwest US will allow pressure to lower north of the region tonight. This pattern will support moderate to fresh winds over the northern Gulf of California Tue and Wed. Similar conditions are possible in the northern Gulf at thtoe end of the week. Farther south, light breezes and southerly swell will persist through the period. The monsoon trough will lift northward to off the coast of southern Mexico by Tue. This will support increased showers and thunderstorms, mainly at night. Looking ahead, pulses of fresh to locally strong gap winds are possible in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region Fri night through Sun. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR.. The monsoon trough is lifting northward and will reach a position parallel to the coast of Central America and southern Mexico by Tue. This pattern will maintain scattered thunderstorms and gentle to moderate southerly winds. Pulses of fresh offshore winds are likely in the Papagayo region Tue through Fri. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A ridge of high pressure extends over the waters north of 20N. The pressure gradient between the ridge and the monsoon trough/ITCZ is supporting moderate NE trade winds north of the monsoon trough west of 120W with seas in the 5 to 7 ft range. Meanwhile, cross-equatorial southerly swell E of 125W will support seas of 5 to 7 feet through the week. $$ Christensen
