Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1005 UTC Sun Nov 8 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0915 UTC. 

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

The monsoon trough extends from 14N90W to 11N109W to beyond 
09N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 08N-11N 
between 130W-140W. 

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

A cold front extends from 27N113W to 22N123W, then starts 
dissipating from that point to 22N127W. Fresh to strong 
northwest gap winds will prevail in the northern Gulf of 
California through the morning hours, while fresh NW winds will
continue across the offshore waters of Baja. The NW swell 
associated with the front is increasing combined seas west of 
the Baja California through today. Peak seas may reach as high 
as 13 ft off Baja California Norte through Sun. A secondary 
front will move through the area tonight increasing the winds 
across the Gulf to fresh/strong. These conditions will continue 
through Mon morning.

Gulf of Tehuantepec: Northerly gap winds will continue
diminishing across the region through the morning hours, with 
associated seas subsiding to less than 10 ft by that time also. 
SW swell will prevail across the area through the forecast
period. 

Gentle winds will persist south of Cabo Corrientes outside of 
the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Gentle to moderate NW winds are 
expected from Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo through today, with 
seas subsiding to 4-6 ft.

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

Seas are in the 5 to 7 ft range in this area, in a mix of SW 
cross-equatorial swell and NW swell. Moderate SW winds will 
prevail across the region through the forecast period. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A cold front extends from 27N113W to 22N123W, then starts 
dissipating from that point to 22N127W. The front will continue 
to push southward through today, then stall and dissipate along 
20N on Mon. A secondary front will move across the same area
starting this evening, enhancing the winds across the eastern
portion of the basin. Fresh to strong N winds and large NW swell
will accompany these fronts through early next week. Seas 
greater than 8 ft will prevail over most of the area north of 
12N and west of 110W through mid-week. 

The remnant low of Post-Tropical Cyclone Odalys continues to be a 
well defined low-level cloud swirl near 14N128W. The low will 
continue moving westward today and gradually weaken to a trough 
as it reaches cooler waters and drier more stable air.

Surface ridging dominates north of 20N, anchored by a 1035 mb 
high pressure well to the north of the area. Moderate to fresh NE
winds persist across the whole area.
