000 AXPZ20 KNHC 260410 CCA TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion...CORRECTED NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Mon Oct 26 2020 Corrected Remainder of the area section... 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 0310 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... A strong pressure gradient between strong high pressure over the Great Basin and an area of low pressure over the SW United States associated with a frontal system is supporting fresh to strong SW to W winds ahead of a pre-frontal trough moving over the northern Gulf of California. The low will shift E early on Mon, and strong to near gale force northerly winds will start to funnel across the northern and central gulf by Mon morning. Winds will rapidly gain gale force afterwards and will continue to affect the northern and central gulf waters through early on Tue. However, fresh to strong winds will reach the southern gulf and the entrace of the gulf Mon through Wed. Seas will become very rough over the northern Gulf of California Mon and Mon night, with wave heights reaching 12 ft before subsiding to around 9 ft early on Tue. Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website- https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave extends from 06N to 16N with axis near 125W, moving westward at 5-10 kt. Scattered showers are noted in the northern section of the wave axis from 14N to 18N between 112W and 127W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from 12N87W to 10N110W to 11N123W. The ITCZ begins near 10N127W and continues beyond 08N140W. Scattered moderate convection is from 05N to 13N between 80W and 90W, and from 08N to 13W between 94W and 111W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please see the Special Features section above for details on an upcoming gale event in the northern Gulf of California. Moderate to fresh northwest winds are across the offshore waters of Baja California with seas to 7 ft. These winds are forecast to continue through early Wed. Winds will remain light to gentle west of Mexico through Thu, except for the offshore waters between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo where moderate to fresh northwest winds are expected Tue evening through Thu associated with the gap wind event in the Gulf of California. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Mainly moderate south to southwest winds will continue over the southern waters through Tue night, then increase to moderate to fresh over the Colombia offshores Wed through Thu evening. Seas are expected to remain 5-6 ft in south to southwest swell across the entire region. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Strong high pressure north of the region extends a broad ridge southward into the discussion area. The pressure gradient between the ridge and low pressure near the California coast is allowing for moderate to fresh NE winds over the area west of 130W. A tropical wave along 125W continue to support moderate to locally fresh NE winds roughly from 15N to 20N W of 130W. These conditions will slowly diminish through Mon morning as the ridge weakens and the tropical wave moves west of the forecast area. $$ Ramos
