000 AXPZ20 KNHC 291554 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1528 UTC Wed Jul 29 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1605 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is along 88W, extending north of 04N through Nicaragua, moving west at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered showers are noted in the vicinity of the wave axis. A tropical wave axis is along 98W north of 03N into southern Mexico, moving west at 10 kt. No significant convection is observed near the wave axis. A tropical wave axis is along 119W, from 03N to 17N. It is moving west at 10 to 15 kt. A 1007 mb low pressure accompanies this wave near 12.6N119W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is from 09N to 15N between 115W and 124W near the monsoon trough. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from 09N84W to 15N104W to 09N140W. Scattered moderate convection is observed from 10N to 17N between 100W and 115W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is from 10N to 12N between 124W and 140W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... High pressure west of Baja California will support fresh NW winds north of Punta Eugenia through tonight. A tightening pressure gradient over the southwest U.S. will support moderate to fresh winds over the northern Gulf of California today and again Sat. Farther south, pulses of fresh to strong gap winds are possible in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region Fri night through Sun night. These winds will support seas up to 6 ft, mixing with a component of longer period southerly swell. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... The monsoon trough has lifted northward along the coast of Central America and southern Mexico. This pattern will maintain scattered thunderstorms and gentle to moderate southerly winds in the region and coastal areas. Pulses of fresh offshore winds are likely in the Papagayo region through Fri. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A ridge of high pressure extends over the waters north of 16N. The pressure gradient between the ridge and the monsoon trough/ ITCZ is supporting moderate NE trade winds north of the monsoon trough west of 115W which is well depicted by the earlier ASCAT data. Seas in this region range between 5 to 7 ft. Meanwhile, cross-equatorial southerly swell east of 125W will support seas of 5 to 7 feet through the week. $$ Torres
